The School of Professional & Continuing Education Youth Programs and the John C. Wells Planetarium will host three, week-long science based summer camps open to elementary, middle, and high school students!
Using JMU’s unique facilities, camp-goers will get to explore different areas of science, including biology, earth science, chemistry, forensic science, physics and astronomy, and more!
Our Science Explorers Camps provide hands-on learning opportunities to 1st through 12th grade students. We seek to grow leaders and problem solvers of tomorrow by building knowledge and curiosity today!
All teachers and students working with the campers will go through a teacher training program so that they are ready to help your children actively engage in learning! We will post more information about the schedule as it is available.
