Camp

The National Youth Science Camp (NYSC)is a residential science education program that honors and
challenges two students from each state and others from selected countries around the world. Scientists
from across the nation presentlectures and hands -on science seminars and linger to interact informally with
student delegates. Delegates are challenged to explore new areas in the biological and physical sciences,
art, and musicwith resident staff members. Opportunities are provided for delegates to present seminars
covering their own areas of interest and research. A visit to Washington D.C. permits delegates to visit
someof the nation’s premier scientific, governmental, and cultural facilities. The NYSC experience
includes overnight excursions into the Monongahela National Forest, featuring backpacking, rock-climbing,
caving, mountain biking, and kayaking opportunities. Delegates are required to participate in the camp
program for its entirety, as the fast -paced activities and remote location make travel toand from the NYSC
very difficult. More information is available online at www.nysc.org.
