Explore UW-Green Bay summer camp welcomes Oneida youth, rising 7th-9th graders, to campus for a week of hands-on learning grounded in land, language, and community. Led by the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity's Andrew LaPlant and Joe Torres, with support from CSET's Sam Betancur and CCB staff and student employees, campers explore the natural world through immersive STEM experiences. They will investigate native plants, creeks, aquatic life, birds, wetlands, prairies, forests, and even an ancient rock outcropping while meeting UW-Green Bay faculty, staff, and students who care for these ecosystems. Open to Oneida Nation citizens only.
