SUMMARY:We're Empowered by Science (WEBS) Summer Science Camp
DESCRIPTION:The We’re Empowered by Science (WEBS) Summer Science Camp welcomes campers who have a sincere interest in the sciences. The WEBS program is designed to: \n\n\n\n\nEmpower young people to pursue an education and a career in STEM fields.\n\n\n\nExpose participants to multiple STEM-based fields.\n\n\n\nIntroduce participants to a college campus.\n\n\n\nConnect participants with Wilkes University professors\, staff\, and students as well as STEM professionals from the community.\n\n\n\nProvide a positive laboratory experience where participants can question\, investigate\, learn and analyze using fun\, interactive\, hands-on experiments\, as well as develop important laboratory skills.\n\n\n\nEncourage team-building and collaboration amongst young people.\n\n\n\nCreate young leaders.\n\n\n\n\nThe WEBS 1.0 Camp is open to first and second year campers entering grades 7 and 8. Examples of some of the hands-on experiments across various disciplines in science that these campers will have the chance to partake in include: exploring neuroscience by making brain cakes\, assembling a human skeleton after going on a bone scavenger hunt\, solving crimes CSI style\, programming their own robots\, and so much more! \n\n\n\nThe WEBS 2.0 Camp is open to returning campers entering grades 9-12. The WEBS 2.0 program was created at the request of campers who aged out of our WEBS 1.0 program\, but who still wanted to participate in the WEBS experience. The lab offerings for the 2.0 program changes yearly so that returning  campers are not completing the same experiments year after year and exposes these individuals to areas of science that they likely have not yet experienced. Examples of previous 2.0 programming includes learning how to suture\, creating a public service announcement about a hot topic in science\, making yogurt using concepts of microbiology\, and so much more! Throughout the week\, 2.0 campers will also have opportunities to attend off-site field trips and to serve as mentors to younger WEBS campers. \n\n\n\nTuition for the 6 day camp running Sunday 7/20/25 through Friday 7/25/25 is $300\, which includes daily snacks and drinks\, a t-shirt\, a drawstring bag filled with lab safety equipment and supplies\, and lots of FUN hands-on laboratory experiences! Scholarships are available for those with financial need. Contact program director\, Debra Chapman (debra.chapman@wilkes.edu)\, for an application.
