Science Leadership
About the Camp
Do you think the world needs more leaders in science? The Science Leadership Camp is designed to prepare participants to successfully build futures that combine science with their desire to make a difference. During this experience, campers will be challenged to think about issues in their communities and articulate a vision for how they can make a difference with their leadership and scientific abilities. They will also learn from the leadership experiences of Penn State science students and faculty, explore cutting-edge scientific research, and engage in activities that will challenge them to think innovatively and creatively. Come join us at University Park for an experience you can take with you through high school, college, and beyond! (Note: The first full day of camp is Monday, July 22nd, but all campers will check in for an opening ceremony the evening of Sunday, July 21st. Please also note that the camp includes a moderately strenuous hiking experience and a canoe experience at Bald Eagle Creek or Black Moshannon State Park.)
