Science Camp Instructors

Science Camp instructors are university faculty or natural resource agency staff who have graciously donated their time to work with student participants. Each of our instructors has years of experience working in their designated topic area.

Our instructors design hands-on activities to help students explore and discover ecology and environmental science. Topics are assembled to present a holistic view of the environment by bringing in different professional perspectives.
