Summer Science Splash Camp at Westminster College

05/12/2020

Due to the ongoing pandemic, we have to cancel Summer Science Splash Camp for 2020. Look for our triumphant return in 2021!

If you have already registered for the 2020 camp, you should have received an e-mail notification this morning. E-mail us at [email protected] if you don't receive it.

Given the cancellations of many events due to concerns over the COVID-19 virus, I wanted to take a moment to address our plans for the 2020 Summer Science Splash Camp. We are currently planning to move forward with Camp as advertised (westminster.edu/sciencecamp). If it should become necessary to cancel Camp to protect the health of our campers and staff members, be assured that we will process full refunds of Camp registration fees.

Registration is now open for our 2020 camps. Act now to secure your position with our early-bird discount!

With just about an hour left until our Week 2 Closing Ceremony, we have the final product of each team's forensics investigation of the case: Who poisoned Becca? ☠️

The correct suspect is soon-to-be announced at the ceremony! 😳

We're finishing up our camp activities with a counselor-organized game show! 🤩

Pictured below is our Jeopardy game, which had categories related to our time at camp, like "Counselors," "Professors and Their Labs," and "Other Important Camp People." 👍

Campers are all done with their final labs and post-tests, and now they're filling out camp evaluations and writing thank you notes to our sponsors before they move on to some more fun! ✏️

Thank you to the II-VI Foundation and the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation for their continued sponsorship and support. We fully appreciate everything! 😃

It's the last day of camp, and campers are currently finishing up their final lab session of the week! 😄

As they code their Micro:bits, make graphs, dissect sheep brains, test white powders, and go orienteering, we're gearing up for a fun day before the closing ceremony this afternoon! 🎉

Watch as a group of campers help their teammate navigate through our "minefield" without using any words!

Our other silent communication games from tonight are pictured below! 😁

In the first two pictures, campers are silently attempting to put themselves in alphabetical order by their birthdays. In the last two pictures, campers are playing "silent ball." 🤫
