PULLMAN, Wash. — The Cougar Summer Science Camp is planned for July 8-14 at Washington State University.
Students entering grades 9-10 this fall can experience a week of events that showcase WSU but focus on science. Participants can watch demonstrations and participate in hands-on chemistry, physics and life science laboratories, while instructors guide and assist. Campers will take field trips to the vet college, computer center, KWSU radio and TV studios, greenhouses, the nuclear reactor, science displays and other academic units.
Participants also will attend special programs such as the Planetarium and observatory, a night at the theatre with a backstage tour and a picnic with outdoor games followed by an evening of dancing.
Campers can experience campus life by staying in WSU residence halls and eating all meals in the dining hall, closely supervised by live-in proctors.
The camp is a great opportunity to meet new friends and WSU faculty and students. The week’s highlight is camp director Brian Weissbart’s demonstration of chemistry’s sights and sounds on the last day. Family and friends are encouraged to attend the show.
