The Language of Life: DNA in Action (Grades 7-9)
We all depend on the letters D-N-A for life, but what is really spelled out by our genetic code? How do cells use DNA and how do scientists study it? During this camp, we will inspect the structure of DNA, investigate its function, and examine variations in its code. Activities will include fun hands-on experiments and medical case studies. Camp runs 9am-4pm daily. Scholarship support available with applications due by May 1, 2026.
