Get your hands dirty, work in science labs like the experts, and see for yourself why geology rocks. Adventure outside to investigate geology phenomena you may have never thought about before – like, "Can I really make my own toothpaste?" or "What makes a puddle BIG?" Get inspired by minerals, soils, sustainable practices, and then head home with rock-solid new knowledge about the natural world around us.

Discover different ways to examine life near and far, using everything from telescopes to microscopes. Use these instruments to understand how light reflecting from objects enters your eyes so objects can be seen. Participate in an experiment to see if algae will die, survive, or thrive after being exposed to different environments. Use what you learn to determine the likelihood of plants grown on Earth to surviving on other planets like Mars.

With recycled materials as your tools and your creativity as your guide, you will design a small pinball machine, convert plastic bags into sturdy rope, create a T-shirt tote bag, and learn to build a birdhouse and feeder. While you upcycle items you'll explore new ways to reduce waste. Expand your view on common objects along the way, and leave this camp inspired to innovate and reduce waste through repurposing and upcycling!
