Summer in Review

The summer has come and gone! A huge thanks to everyone who helped make this is an exciting and educational summer; students, parents, staff, volunteers and partners. Students raved about the programs. We even had some tears as the programs ended. Below are some camp photos.

“I just wanted to extend our sincere gratitude for this experience. My son had an amazing time, all of the counselors were incredibly sweet and supportive, and his exposure to STEM & a top-notch university was priceless. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to continue to support your programs and to bring the camp back again next summer!

Thanks so much again."
