Space Still Available for Science Camp

Spaces are still available at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford’s Science Camp to be held June 7-11 for children who have completed grades 1 through 6.

The camp is being operated by Pitt-Bradford’s Office of Outreach Services but will be similar to the popular camps that had been run by the Science In Motion program.

The camp will run from 8:30 a.m. to noon each day in Swarts Hall on campus. There is a $75 fee for one child and a $50 fee for each additional child who attends. Registrations will be accepted only until Friday, May 28.

“The camp is a wonderful opportunity for children to experience science in ways they may not otherwise be able to,” said Brenda Brandon, who helped with the camp when it was part of the Science In Motion program and is directing this year’s camp. “I wanted to see the camp continue despite Science In Motion losing funding. With Pitt-Bradford providing this opportunity, the camp can continue, and we may inspire future scientists.”

Children attending the camp will participate in labs and many different areas of science and learn about plants, birds, stream life, water quality, chemistry, physical science and more. There will also be a guest speaker each day.

For more information or to register, contact Outreach Services at (814)362-5078 or reach@pitt.edu.
