Join us for a four-day day camp with opportunities to meet and learn from environmental scientists and engineers, and observe how they monitor streams and the Great Lakes for potential issues. This program is the perfect opportunity for an aspiring scientist to get hands-on experience working with scientific tools to sustain a healthy Great Lakes ecosystem for generations to come. This program runs from July 24th – July 27th at our campus in Suttons Bay and is geared toward students in middle or high school.
