An environmental science camp at the Truckee Donner Land Trust’s Webber Lake Campground for students going into 7th grade and older. Foundations of the program: 1. Scientific Research: Students work with a cohort of peers at Webber Lake and with professional scientist mentors to create questions around their environmental topics of interest and develop these questions into a research project. 2. Mentorship: The students will be mentored by scientists for guidance through their project. These career-scientists can help with recommendations for how to turn an idea into an executable project. 3. Professional caliber scientific exploration: Participants are given the chance to practice science just like a professional would, analyzing data and finally creating a research talk. If they would like to create a paper they should also join our Summer Research Experience and at the end, they submit their paper for publication. They can get all of their data collected for the summer-long program during this week at Webber Lake.
