“Our camp program is divided by grades so we can offer the appropriate level of education – from building a science foundation for the littlest ones, to re-engaging interest in scientific curriculum with hands-on, practical applications for our older campers,” said Whitney Owens, vice president of education at Great Lakes Science Center. “However, no matter the campers’ age, we strive to teach science in a rich way that inspires our youth to get excited about and engage with science throughout their lives – that is our goal.”
