Join us this summer at our hands-on science camp for emerging 6th-9th grade students! Engage in real-world phenomena based investigations about climate change and environmental justice. Five sessions to choose from each week.
Through experiments, fun investigations, and real examples from California, campers discover how water connects to our health, communities, and the environment—and how people can work together to protect this essential resource.
Campers will explore the invisible world of air and learn how pollution affects our health and communities through hands-on experiments and real-life examples from California.
Campers will explore where our food comes from, why some neighborhoods have plenty while others struggle, and what happens when food is thrown away through hands-on investigations and real-life examples.
Campers will investigate coastal and marine systems and discover how land, ocean, and human activity are connected. Through hands-on models and real examples from California, they will see how pollution, climate change, and resource use affect ocean health and marine life.
Campers will explore how energy shapes our daily lives, health, and opportunities in communities. Using hands-on investigations and local examples from Los Angeles, they will uncover how electricity is produced, why some neighborhoods face higher energy costs, and how renewable energy can create fairer, cleaner futures.
What happens when we offer students opportunities to identify with literature studied in our classrooms as well as windows for learning about the world around them? With a focus on multilingual learners, collaborative model lessons and discourse, participants will be able to walk away from this workshop with sample lessons of rigorous and exciting texts that support analytical reading, writing and discourse.
