5-day life sciences camp for students who will have graduated from 4th, 5th, or 6th grade. Topics include biochemistry, cosmic and planetary exploration, genetics & DNA extraction, geography, native plants & animals, research methods, and soil identification. Camp runs 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with hands-on experiments, inquiry-based activities, college/career exploration, games, and sports at Gregory Gym. Students receive support from instructors, UT student interns, and faculty.

Step into the world of medicine in this hands-on Pre-Med program for rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Work in teams to solve simulated patient cases, perform microbiology and biochemistry tests, and explore medical ethics and the patient-doctor relationship. A highlight of the program is a pig heart dissection, giving you a close-up look at heart anatomy and physiology. Perfect for students interested in healthcare, biology, or medical careers, this program builds critical thinking, lab skills, and real-world medical experience.

Four-day summer camp for rising high school juniors and seniors exploring biology, biochemistry, forensic science, and chemistry. Includes hands-on labs, career exploration activities, and interactions with science professionals.

This camp introduces middle school students to science and engineering through inquiry-based projects, hands-on lab work, and creative problem solving. Campers will build and program a take-home robot, design cardboard boats for the YMCA regatta, and investigate ecosystems in the Larry R. Yoder Prairie Learning Laboratory and on a field trip to Recreation Unlimited. They will also explore biochemistry through engaging activities such as a blood-typing simulation and molecular gastronomy experiments. The program emphasizes teamwork, creativity, and real-world scientific discovery. Duration: June 22-26, 2026, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Focused on a dynamic blend of biochemistry, engineering, and environmental science, this camp immerses students in hands-on lab and design experiences. Campers will investigate chemistry and biology through engaging activities such as molecular gastronomy experiments, blood-typing simulations, or crime-scene biochemistry challenges. They'll build and program a take-home robot, design and race cardboard boats in the YMCA regatta, and explore ecosystem science in the Larry R. Yoder Prairie Learning Laboratory. A full-day field trip to Recreation Unlimited adds adventure as students conduct stream exploration studies and apply engineering principles to build survival structures in an outdoor setting. Together, these experiences spark curiosity, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving. Duration: June 22-26, 2026, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
