Student Summer Camp
Join us for a fun-filled science camp for kids 4th-6th grades at the beautiful SUU mountain center. Students will participate in two full days of fun, exciting science activities in the beautiful surroundings of Cedar Mountain. This year's theme is "Cedar Mountain Science Investigations", with a spin from the popular CSI television shows. Some of the activities will include; an animal investigation, catching weighing and measuring frogs at Navajo Lake, a plant investigation at Cedar Breaks National Monument, and solving a missing person mystery at the SUU Mountain Center Cabin.

Evaluation Quotes
Teacher: "I got several great ideas and activities...to teach the core. Great plant ideas - ways to find, collect and group single and compound leaves. Using your environment to get familiar with what's there. Economics - scarcity, wants, and needs... Ways to incorporate language and literature and art. Math activities that follow the core - finding geometric patterns and shapes, etc. This is awesome!"
Student: "As a ‘young scientist' I learned how to study the environment through many different areas such as social studies, art, economics, science, literature, etc."
Evaluation team: "The demand for participation for both students and teachers far exceeded the openings available for this pilot year. As the program expands statewide, this situation will become more critical."
