July 12-17, 2009
Residential summer science program led by NIU science faculty and students. Campers each choose 2 major investigations to pursue for the week, such as holography, chemistry, water quality, electronics, or botany. All campers come together for some science fun and competitions including water rocketry and "Junk-Box Wars." Campers experience college life by living in the residence halls and participating in evening activities such as visiting the Huskie Den or the Observatory.
