Cardiology
In our cardiology summer camp, rising 6th through 8th graders will learn about the complexities of the human body system through hands-on experiments and projects.
Genetics
Our genetics youth summer camp introduces rising 6th through 8th graders to topics including gene sequences, DNA, and heritable diseases, through labs and interactive simulations.
Engineering
Intro to Engineering is our STEM summer camp for students in 4th through 6th grades, exploring force, energy, and mass through interactive challenges.
Marine Science - Grades 6th-8th
Designed for middle school students interested in oceanography and ecology, our marine science summer camp provides hands-on learning opportunities for studying ocean life.
Neuroanatomy
Through interactive activities and experiments, including dissecting a sheep brain, students in our neuroanatomy summer camps for middle and high schoolers will learn about the anatomy and physiology of the various systems of the brain.
Psychology
Through an interactive and dynamic curriculum, high school students attending our psychology summer camps will explore fundamental principles including personality, perception, memory, and more.
Quantum Mechanics
Our quantum mechanics summer camp introduces middle and high school students to topics including Max Planck's theory of quantization, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, probability wave functions, and other key quantum concepts.
Robotics
In our immersive robotics summer camps, middle and high school students will learn how to build and program a robot from scratch using the new VEX5 robotics platform.
Testimonials
Hear what students are saying about our science summer camps!
“My daughter has been to three Education Unlimited summer camps on college campuses, and they were all fantastic. During middle school, she attended the Science Camp for Girls at Stanford University. She stayed in the Stanford dorms and met girls from all over the U.S. She loved it so much that she went back the following summer! She built a rocket, a robot, and did other science projects, plus went swimming and on field trips to San Francisco, all while being supervised by female adults in science careers.”
–Marilyn D., Science Camp parent
“Our daughter has attended Education Unlimited's Science Camp for Girls (which included an excellent dissection component). The camps are structured to be safe, educational, and fun. Although we were nervous about sending our child off to camp on a plane (from Oregon), the folks at Education Unlimited have each summer managed all of the details flawlessly. They are always there at the airport, providing seamless transfers to and from camp, and somehow managing all aspects of the camp in a way that even my disorganized child is always where she needs to be, when she needs to be there."
