This engaging camp offers an immersive exploration of the science that surrounds our daily lives, covering a wide array of subjects including Anatomy & Physiology, Chemistry, Plant Science, Animal Science, Forensic Science, and Fire Science.
Designed for all incoming high school students, the camp promises three days of discovery and hands-on learning. The schedule is as follows: Tuesday, June 4th: 8:00 AM—4:00 PM, Wednesday, June 5th: 9:00 AM—4:00 PM, and Thursday, June 6th: 9:00 AM—4:00 PM.
Sessions will be held on the GCCC campus, including in the new GCCC STEM Success Center, a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Registration for the camp is now open at a fee of $25 per participant. Fees will be used to provide lunch for campers for all three days. To secure a spot, interested individuals are encouraged to register promptly before the May 21, 2024 deadline.

This summer camp is made possible through GCCC's Title III STEM Grant, a groundbreaking 5-year, $5 million grant aimed at advancing STEM education. The grant has facilitated the introduction of three innovative programs at GCCC – Robotics, Cybersecurity, and Crop Production – and has played a pivotal role in the establishment of the STEM Success Center. This 10,000-square-foot addition to the Warren Fouse Science and Math building provides dedicated spaces for classrooms, laboratories, offices, and collaborative workspaces, ensuring a conducive environment for STEM exploration and learning.
