From Microbes to Meals: Life Science Lab Camp
A high-energy, three-day science camp where students explore disease-causing microbes, fascinating animals, and the chemistry behind food through labs, challenges, and interactive investigations.
Day 1: Medical Microbiology
Medical Microbiology introduces students to the microscopic organisms that impact human health and disease. Students will explore bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites while learning how infections spread, how the immune system responds, and how medicine works to prevent and treat disease. Through hands-on investigations, simulations, case-based problem solving, and interactive review games, students will think like clinicians and public-health scientists as they analyze symptoms, identify pathogens, and design prevention strategies. This course emphasizes scientific reasoning, real-world medical applications, and responsible health practices.
Day 2: Zoology
Zoology is an in-depth exploration of the animal kingdom, focusing on how structure and function support survival in diverse environments. Students will investigate animal classification, adaptations, behavior, and ecological relationships through hands-on labs, comparative anatomy activities, and collaborative challenges. Emphasis is placed on evidence-based reasoning as students analyze how animals interact with their environments and with one another. This course also introduces conservation biology and ethical considerations related to wildlife and human impact on ecosystems.
Day 3: The Chemistry of Food
The Chemistry of Food explores the molecular science behind what we eat. Students will examine macromolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats; investigate chemical reactions involved in cooking and digestion; and analyze how pH, enzymes, and energy transformations affect food quality and nutrition. Through hands-on experiments, data analysis, and problem-solving activities, students will connect chemistry concepts to everyday life, health, and performance. This course emphasizes critical thinking, real-world applications, and scientific literacy related to nutrition and food choices. | |
Mind Matters: Intro to Psychology
(7th -9th Grade)
Interested in taking AP Psychology? Let's explore the basic principles and theories of Psychology, including personality, learning, memory, intelligence, and human behavior. Each class would provide hands-on activities and/or demonstrations, such as identifying brain parts, memory activities, personality tests, and identifying types of abnormal behavior. Come discover and learn how and why our brains develop by studying and understanding mental processes, brain functions, and behaviors. | |
Play, Plan, Perform: An Improvisation-to-Stage Experience
Step into the spotlight and discover how great performances are created from the ground up! In this fast-paced three-day course, students will use improvisation as the foundation for building an original performance. Through guided activities, creative collaboration, and theatre games, participants will generate ideas, develop characters, shape a storyline, and rehearse as an ensemble. Along the way, students will strengthen confidence, communication skills, and stage presence while learning the essentials of the playmaking process. The experience culminates in a final performance on the last day, where students showcase the piece they created together. | |
STEM into Science
Who is ready to have hands-on experience with Science? The goal is to provide hands-on learning to help students engage in science. Students who do hands-on activities tend to remember more of what they were taught. During this course, students will build rockets, build 3-D diagrams of solar systems, create weather tools, use household items, and use a variety of edible treats to show the physical changes of the Earth. Using what they learn, from each activity, students will be able to identify the steps of the scientific process.
