Faculty-Run Summer Camps

Archeology

Grades 6–8 — June 16–19

Our Archaeology Camps will introduce campers to the fundamental concepts of archaeology, including how archaeologists identify and excavate sites, how artifacts are analyzed, and what archaeology can tell us about the past. Over the course of the week, campers will gradually build their understanding of archaeological techniques and terminology, with activities that integrate hands-on learning that brings the past to life and gives them an opportunity to engage in a mock excavation and analyze artifacts uncovered.

Amazing Animal Abilities!

Grades 6–9 — July 28–August 1

Did you know that mice can hear sounds that humans cannot? Or that birds and bees can see colors we can only imagine? This camp will explore the amazing sensory abilities of animals---from seeing and hearing to communication with electricity and sensing magnetic fields. Learn about these amazing abilities through dissections, working with live animals, and using fun technologies that allow us to explore realms that are unknown to us. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded full scholarships for camp participants; funding decisions are often made based on need, with priority going to participants that qualify for free or reduced lunch. Please reach out to explore@hope.edu with any questions.
