Berks

Campus hosts summer camp on environmental ecology and science

Penn State Berks will host a hands-on summer camp dealing with environmental ecology and science from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 23 to 27 in the Luerssen Building. The five-day camp, designed for students entering grades five through eight, will focus on exploring and learning about the environment-topical areas including water, recycling, agriculture and forestry. Participants will work with scientific tools and techniques to determine the health of a stream, safely gather and grow bacteria, conduct experiments with microscopic animals and, using the power of observation, gather clues in solving environmental problems. A chaperoned field trip is planned to offer campers hands-on learning experiences. The cost of the camp is $185 and lunch will be provided. For information, contact Elaine Berish at (610) 396-6230 or emb1@psu.edu.
