The science summer camp is a four-week long program that began in 1997. Each week, the School of Natural and Health Sciences hosts approximately 35 students in grades two through six, who learn about science through interactive activities, field trips and guest presentations. This year’s activities have also included a field trip to Publix Supermarket and a crime scene investigation demonstration with BU professor, Gill Ellis. Next week, activities will have an environmental theme, including making “Get Well Cards” for the Earth addressing environmental challenges.
