Archaeology
In this session, campers will explore the different jobs an Archaeologist performs. Campers will then go to a "dig" on campus, find pieces of an artifact, learn how to clean these pieces, and then put them together to discover what they have found.

Forensic Science
A "body" is found on campus. Campers will draw the crime scene and gather clues as to what happened. Then the campers will take the evidence found into a laboratory and perform tests on it to try to solve the "crime".

Mapping & Orienteering
Students will learn how to use a compass and read various kinds of "maps". Once orienteering skills have been learned, the students will use these skills to navigate a short course on campus.

Physics
Physics class will explore the science of light and sound. Campers will experiment with the different colors of light. They will also make musical instruments to explore sound. Finally, both of these components will be combined into a musical "light show".

Space
In this class students will explore all things that "fly". This includes the "hows", "whys", and "whats" of flight. They will then design and construct their own flying object which they will also test.
