A fun, AFFORDABLE, safe, and positive summer camp experience!

Not your average summer camp! Cub Creek Science Camp is a summer program for kids ages 7-17. Providing unforgettable Animal Adventures and over 100 other camp activities everyday!

Explore the diversity of fascinating reptiles and amphibians of the world, with special emphasis on those species that inhabit Missouri. Through a combination of classroom, laboratory, and field activities, you will examine in-depth information about these amazing creatures.

The Wake Forest Summer Immersion Psychology Institute is an unforgettable experience for high school students. Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior. Dive into the structure of the brain through hands-on dissection and learn about how illusions, emotions, and biases affect how we see and interact with the world. Can you really trust everything you see and hear? You’ll conduct your own observational study to get a more in-depth look at the world and the people around you.

In today’s fast-paced, digitally connected world, technology has invaded In today’s fast-paced, digitally connected world, technology has invaded almost every aspect of our lives. In this institute, students will learn how big data is leveraged to shape buying habits and consider the security ramifications and implications that a world shaped by the Internet of Things presents. Students will immerse themselves in the world of technology and gain an understanding of how technology has connected our lives in ways never before possible. We will explore the opportunities available in the job market at places that might not be realized. There will also be basic hands-on experiences with hardware and software giving students a taste of what it’s like to work as a programmer. This Institute explores technology from the inside out.

Your favorite quarterback is out with a concussion. Will he return for the 4th quarter? You’re playing tennis and you feel your shoulder pop. What’s going on? Get the answers in this course on sports medicine. We’ll focus on 3 common injuries—ACL tear, shoulder dislocation and concussion. Plus, you’ll learn about traumas and treatments of star athletes. This online course is a must if you seek a future career in the field—from orthopedic surgeon to athletic trainer.

Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe is an introductory survey of the universe, its formation and evolution, the nature and origins of stars and galaxies, the origins of solar systems including our own, and how humans have come to our current understanding by applying the process of science. You will develop an understanding of basic principles and methods used in astronomy and astrophysics to study the universe through observation, measurement, evaluation of data, and development and testing of scientific theories. This is an introductory course that does not assume a science and mathematics background.

Join us this summer for one (or two) residential high school camps that focus on a variety of content areas. Students choose one subject area to study for the entire week and enjoy academic sessions led by experienced faculty and talented college students multiple times each day. Students will get a five-day, college-like experience that includes all food, lodging, supplies, evening activities and hands-on exploration of an academic area in the context of a Christian community. We can’t wait to explore with you this summer!

This course is for the absolute beginner, who most likely has had no prior exposure to coding. No prior coding experience is required but basic QWERTY keyboarding skills are helpful. The goal of this camp is to bring students from beginning concepts, develop basic skills, to acquiring a foundational familiarity with the Java programming language and development environment(s), Upon completing this camp the student should • Have a clear ability to gauge their own personal interest in developing further coding skills and knowledge • Have established a strong knowledge base for extending their coding ability either via further coursework or self-directed study • Have gained direct technical experience with fundamental programming structures; sequence, selection (if’s or decisions) and repetition (loops), variables and data types • Have gained direct technical experience with basic object oriented concepts and terminology (objects and classes, methods, etc.) This is a great, low-stress opportunity for students to encounter technology and program development for the first time. No prior programming experience required – basic keyboarding ability (QWERTY) and nothing more. Camp attendees must bring their own computer; Windows or Apple / Mac work equally well. iPads/tablets will not work.

Python is one of the most versatile programming languages today, used not only by developers, but also data scientists, data engineers, researchers, and business professionals at all levels. Applications include back-end ecommerce and web development, scripting solutions to business problems, and as perhaps the most valuable / heavily relied upon data analytics and visualization language today. Students in this camp will learn Python from two key perspectives. First, we will use Python to explore foundational programming concepts such as structures (iteration, decisions) and structured program techniques versus object-oriented programming (objects, classes, methods) variables, data types, memory management, error detection and debugging, and more. Secondly, we will use Python and its rich libraries of data analytics functionality to conduct basic data analyses, explore Python data visualization tools, discuss Big Data and Python’s ability to analyze Big Data. Learning Python from these two different perspectives – program development and data analytics – is perhaps the best possible exposure to coding schools that a high school student can receive. It develops parallel “how to” (programming) skills and “how to apply” (analytics) skills into one cohesive camp experience. No prior programming experience required – basic keyboarding ability and nothing more. No prior programming experience required – basic keyboarding ability and nothing more.

Students entering 7th -9th grades can join educators at the Saint Louis Zoo for a fun-filled four-day session to learn about biodiversity hotspots, culminating in a Thursday overnight program to end the week.

Babson Summer Study is a 4-week experiential online program for rising high school juniors and seniors to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and become innovators and changemakers. By strengthening your understanding of the United Nation's Global Goals, you will develop the competencies and confidence to address problems, seize opportunities, and create change that leads to your desired future. While you work with peers from around the globe, you will develop power skills that allow you to enroll others in your vision, confidently master difficult topics, and embrace other points of view all while earning 4 college credits from Babson, the top-ranked college for entrepreneurship.
