Geysers, volcanos, and fossils, oh my! Yellowstone National Park has it all and our staff are ecstatic to teach you all about it! Returning staff Carson Cope, Claire Wolfe, and Alese Thompson are back together and would like to invite you to join them on this two-week adventure! Students will learn about the intricate geologic processes involved in creating beautiful features like the infamous Old Faithful Geyser and lesser-known spots like Black Sands Basin and Grand Prismatic Springs. Beyond learning how geologic processes form the features of Yellowstone, students will be able to learn how these same processes impact the local environment and biology. Students will be able to hike throughout the National Parks, work alongside professional geoscientists, and speak to National Park employees. Students will learn proper field skills, interpersonal communications, and, of course, the geology of Yellowstone.

Paleontology Academy Kansas camp immerses high school students in the paleontology, geology, and paleobiology of one of Kansas’s most scientifically rich fossil localities. The Minium site preserves an extraordinary assemblage of ancient mammals including prehistoric rhinos, camels, carnivores, and rodents alongside a remarkable record of fossil seeds that reveal the plant communities of past ecosystems. Students will take guided day trips to the quarry to prospect for fossils, learn field documentation methods, and explore how geologic setting influences preservation, mirroring the practices of professional researchers. Back on campus, participants will participate in evening discussions and guest presentations that highlight career paths, research opportunities, and the broader scientific context of their field experiences.

Paleontology Academy Colorado invites students to immerse themselves in the geology, ecology, and deep-time history of the Rocky Mountain region through hands-on paleontological lab and field experiences guided by Amy Atwater of the Dinosaur Ridge Museum. Participants will explore fossil-rich sites around Boulder, Denver and the Front Range, prospecting for and documenting remains from Colorado’s remarkable Mesozoic and Cenozoic landscapes. Students will learn the tools and techniques of professional paleontologists including connecting field sites and collections to grant writing, fossil identification, and fossil collection care methods. Activities will highlight the relationships between geology, ecology, and taphonomy, and how they produced the fossils we find in Colorado today.

Preparation Methods North Dakota introduces high school students to the fundamentals of professional fossil preparation and collections care, set against the fossil record of the Hell Creek region. This six-day program takes place at the Pioneer Trails Regional Museum in Bowman, North Dakota, where students will work with instructor Dr. Emily Simpson to uncover how fossils move from discovery to museum display and research. This camp blends hands-on technical skill-building with a deeper understanding of the science that drives paleontological work. Participants will prepare real dinosaur fossils from the Hell Creek Formation under magnification, master the use of tools such as airscribes and dental picks, and learn about the specialized glues, consolidants, and safety practices essential to fossil conservation. Students will also clean and prepare their own fossil fish, experiment with fossil casting, and use scanning and 3D-printing technologies to explore how digital modeling transforms modern paleontology research and education.

Research Academy Kansas invites students to step into the world of scientific discovery through hands-on paleontological research at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History. Led by UC Berkeley mammal carnivore researcher Emily Bogner, this camp centers on real scientific datasets, analytical methods, and the investigative process that drives modern paleontology. Students will work with Emily’s extensive 3D dataset of skeletal elements from 44 living carnivoran species along with scans from extinct members of the group, including the bone-crushing dog Borophagus. Campers will learn to read scientific papers, master anatomical terminology, identify functional traits, and build research questions just as professional scientists do. Using the free software 3D Slicer, participants will landmark skulls and limb bones, perform geometric morphometric analyses, and take linear measurements to explore how bone form relates to locomotion, feeding, and ecology.
