Two graduating high
school seniors from DC are being offered the opportunity to join fellow students
from each state at the National Youth Science Camp (NYSC) in West
Virginia.
The National Youth
Science Camp is a residential, science education program for young scientists
the summer after they graduate
from high school. Students from around the country are challenged academically
in exciting lectures and hands-on studies, and have voluntary opportunities to
participate in an outdoor adventure program, gain a new and deep appreciation
for the great outdoors, and establish friendships that last a
lifetime.
The three-week,
life-changing experience is free for
students, including travel to and
from West
Virginia.
Applications are currently being accepted and are due by next Friday, February 17.
The NYSC experience
includes overnight expeditions into the Monongahela
National Forest where
delegates can participate in back-packing, rock-climbing, caving,
mountain-biking, or kayaking opportunities. Delegates are required to
participate in the camp program for its entirety as the fast-paced activities in
the remote location make travel to and from the NYSC very difficult.
Delegates MUST be able to attend the entire NYSC
program: Delegates arrive in Charleston,
West Virginia on
Wednesday,
June 27,
2012 and depart on
Saturday,
July 21,
2012.
The National Youth
Science Camp is offered at NO
COST
to its participants so that
selected delegates may attend regardless of their financial status. All
educational and recreational programming, as well as meals, lodging, and
round-trip air passage on scheduled airlines are provided free of charge to the
delegates.
Applicant
eligibility, application criteria and submission instructions are all outlined
in the application.
