summer science camps

Our environmental academic summer camps are full of discovery and fun with an academic twist.

ASI: Aquatic Science Investigation

ASI 

The Aquatic Science Investigations Camp promotes scholarship and student success for high school students interested in environmental systems and natural resources. A major goal is for students to become aware of water as an important Texas natural resource and the need to conserve it. With a focus on STEM activities and an individual project to be done during the camp, students leave with knowledge and experiences that benefit them in the classroom environment. Students spend the week at the Wetland Center, participating in day trips to other wetland venues. Please email all completed applications to contact@wetlandcenter.com.

TSS: Teen Sustainability Summit

TSS 

The Teen Sustainability Summit promotes sustainable energy and conservation of natural resources. The goal of this week long program is for participants to become familiar with natural resources and their impact on them and to learn how they can support sustainable practices in their own lives. Students will spend the week at the Wetland Center, traveling to sites that use sustainable practices such as wind or solar farms, farm-to-table businesses and a sustainable dairy farm. Students will engage in discussions, determine the next best solution for sustainable practices as they experience different venues and share their insights with their peers. Please email all completed applications to contact@wetlandcenter.com.
