Camp No Limits – California takes place in beautiful Big Bear Lake, sitting 7,000 feet above sea level and surrounded by mountain views and fresh alpine air. Families may take on high and mid ropes challenge courses, zoom down the zip line, practice archery, and enjoy access to an indoor basketball court, tennis court, and even human foosball. Wildlife sightings add an extra touch of mountain magic throughout the week. In the evenings, families gather around the fire pit for camp songs, s’mores, and community connection—an unforgettable way to end each adventure-filled day.

Camp No Limits – Tennessee takes place at the beautiful YMCA Camp Widjiwagan, set on 320 acres of wilderness with four miles of shoreline along J. Percy Priest Lake. Families may enjoy kayaking, canoeing, the big buzz climbing tower, zip line, kangaroo jumper, and archery—plenty of adventures for all skill levels.

Medical Camps are week-long residential camping experiences for campers with specific medical diagnoses.

Campers get to explore St. Louis with their peers at our fun camp geared towards older kids. Each week includes two field trip days, and one on-site day which features swimming at Bridgeton Crossing or another exciting activity. This week includes and extended day on Wednesday (9 a.m.-5 p.m.) with a trip to Six Flags. Other pricing options are available for kids who already have a Six Flags season pass, or those who wish to attend multiple sessions. Please see our website for more details.

Spend a week immersed in your passions–choose one major course and one minor course for the week and spend your time in breakout sessions where you’ll build new skills through hands-on experience.

On your final day of camp, you’ll be able to showcase your accomplishments with your peers, family, and friends at an exciting camp expo.

The Summer Mines Engineering and Training (SUMMET) Program is an engineering, science and technology initiative tailored for rising high school seniors who are prospective first-generation college students, though students from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. SUMMET combines coursework, hands-on projects, team-building activities and social events. The program provides exposure to the lifestyle, opportunities, and challenges of college and is designed to help build skills and experiences for a smooth transition from high school to college. This is a one-week residential program, allowing participants to live on campus for the duration of the program, experience life as a college student and participate in STEM-related curriculum instruction. This program is free to participants, except for a $50 confirmation fee if you are accepted into the program. Transportation to and from the program is not included in the cost and is the responsibility of the participants.

The Brown Environmental Leadership Lab (BELL) combines concepts in environmental studies, ecology and leadership, with a mission of developing socially responsible leaders. At BELL, you’ll embark on a journey of learning and reflection while building community with the fellow student environmentalists in your program.

Geysers, volcanos, and fossils, oh my! Yellowstone National Park has it all and our staff are ecstatic to teach you all about it! Returning staff Carson Cope, Claire Wolfe, and Alese Thompson are back together and would like to invite you to join them on this two-week adventure! Students will learn about the intricate geologic processes involved in creating beautiful features like the infamous Old Faithful Geyser and lesser-known spots like Black Sands Basin and Grand Prismatic Springs. Beyond learning how geologic processes form the features of Yellowstone, students will be able to learn how these same processes impact the local environment and biology. Students will be able to hike throughout the National Parks, work alongside professional geoscientists, and speak to National Park employees. Students will learn proper field skills, interpersonal communications, and, of course, the geology of Yellowstone.

Paleontology Academy Kansas camp immerses high school students in the paleontology, geology, and paleobiology of one of Kansas’s most scientifically rich fossil localities. The Minium site preserves an extraordinary assemblage of ancient mammals including prehistoric rhinos, camels, carnivores, and rodents alongside a remarkable record of fossil seeds that reveal the plant communities of past ecosystems. Students will take guided day trips to the quarry to prospect for fossils, learn field documentation methods, and explore how geologic setting influences preservation, mirroring the practices of professional researchers. Back on campus, participants will participate in evening discussions and guest presentations that highlight career paths, research opportunities, and the broader scientific context of their field experiences.

Paleontology Academy Colorado invites students to immerse themselves in the geology, ecology, and deep-time history of the Rocky Mountain region through hands-on paleontological lab and field experiences guided by Amy Atwater of the Dinosaur Ridge Museum. Participants will explore fossil-rich sites around Boulder, Denver and the Front Range, prospecting for and documenting remains from Colorado’s remarkable Mesozoic and Cenozoic landscapes. Students will learn the tools and techniques of professional paleontologists including connecting field sites and collections to grant writing, fossil identification, and fossil collection care methods. Activities will highlight the relationships between geology, ecology, and taphonomy, and how they produced the fossils we find in Colorado today.

Preparation Methods North Dakota introduces high school students to the fundamentals of professional fossil preparation and collections care, set against the fossil record of the Hell Creek region. This six-day program takes place at the Pioneer Trails Regional Museum in Bowman, North Dakota, where students will work with instructor Dr. Emily Simpson to uncover how fossils move from discovery to museum display and research. This camp blends hands-on technical skill-building with a deeper understanding of the science that drives paleontological work. Participants will prepare real dinosaur fossils from the Hell Creek Formation under magnification, master the use of tools such as airscribes and dental picks, and learn about the specialized glues, consolidants, and safety practices essential to fossil conservation. Students will also clean and prepare their own fossil fish, experiment with fossil casting, and use scanning and 3D-printing technologies to explore how digital modeling transforms modern paleontology research and education.
