ATTENTION PARENTS: SUMMER SCIENCE CAMP 2013 is now open for registration.

Summer Science Camp 2013

The camp is open to children who will be enrolled in grades K-7 next academic year (2013-2014).

Children who enroll in the camp will be divided into three groups according to next year's grade level.

Summer Science Camp 2013 will be held July 24 - August 8, 2013. During this period, the camp will not meet Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Most activities will take place on the ISU campus in the Science Building. However, field trips may take students off campus. The times of departure and arrival for the field trips may differ from the regular session time.

We will have at least 3 field trips this year. More information will be forthcoming in June.

The registration fee is $100 per student.
If the registration fee poses a financial hardship, please contact Tammy Barnes at the Science Education Office to make special payment arrangements. Tammy may be reached by calling 812-237-3010 or by e-mailing isu-teachscience@indstate.edu

There will be a Parent/Guardian Information Meeting. More information will be forthcoming this summer.
Parents will be allowed to bring their children to the meeting if they do not have a babysitter, or if their available babysitter charges a fee. On the night of the meeting, we will provide babysitters free of charge. The babysitters will be ISU education students who have passed criminal background checks.

The camp is sponsored by the ISU Center for Science Education. Elementary education students, in the process of completing the Center's science methods course, will serve as the instructors of the camp.
The student instructors will be supervised and mentored by licensed teachers. Additional direction and supervision will be provided by Dr. Eulsun Seung, the instructor of the Center's science methods course, SCED 393/SCED 393L.

The camp will meet in the Science Building. Group A (grades K-2) will meet in Room 185; Group B (grades 3-4) is assigned to Room 183; and Group C (grades 5-7) classroom will be in the lower level of the Science Building, Room 58.

While summer science camp is in session, children should be dropped off and picked up from a central location. This year in 2013 the location will be at Fifth and Chestnut streets, near the Hulman Memorial Student Union (HMSU). The drop off time will be between 7:45 a.m. and 7:55 a.m. each morning. Your children will be escorted, by University students, from the central location to their classroom in the Science Building. Any child arriving late will need to be escorted to the Science Building by a parent or guardian. Pickup time by the parents should be 11:45 a.m. - 11:55 a.m.
