Help Inspire the Next Generation of Scientists and Engineers!
Join Science from Scientists (SciSci) this summer as a volunteer for our Animals of the Amazon Summer Camp! We've partnered with local Parks and Rec departments to bring an exciting, hands-on STEM experience to curious young minds ages 7-10.
What’s the camp all about?
Campers will journey into the heart of the Amazon Rainforest as they explore one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Throughout the week, they'll discover how animals adapt to their environments, learn about nature’s incredible recycling systems, and uncover why biodiversity matters for the health of our planet.
Why volunteer?
This is a great opportunity to make a difference while gaining experience in STEM education. As a volunteer, you'll support two enthusiastic SciSci educators, assist with activities, and help campers stay engaged and excited about learning. You don’t need a background in biology or rainforest ecology-just a positive attitude, a reliable presence, and a passion for sharing the wonder of science with kids. Whether you're looking to explore a STEM career, gain volunteer experience, or just want to give back to your community, we’d love to have you on board.
Commitment
We ask that volunteers commit to the full week of camp for consistency and the best experience for everyone.
