Camp Scholarships

2025 Scholarship Application

Thank you for your interest. Our 2025 Summer Camp Scholarship program has now closed. All scholarships have been awarded. Thank you to everyone who applied.

Museum of Life and Science camps provide opportunities for campers ages 4 to rising 8th grade
to connect to topics of interest in an informal learning environment, free of the pressures of
grades and written work.

Once again, the Museum is offering a limited number of scholarships for camps exploring topics
including local ecology, tinkering, LEGO and programming, space exploration, and medicine and
biology. Campers will construct models, design programmable rovers from LEGO, meet
members of the Museum design team, launch chemically propelled rockets, learn uses for
native plants, explore the local ecosystem, collect data about Ellerbe Creek, and develop code
to alter the play experience of Minecraft.

In addition to the opportunity for low stakes, high-impact learning opportunities, camps
provide children with much needed summer socialization opportunities. Our week-long camps
bring campers together from many different backgrounds and contexts removed from
expectations set by their usual peers. This unique environment provides young people with the
opportunity to expand their conception of their selves and how they interact with one another.

Applications are due by Wednesday, November 27, 2024, by 5:00pm. Applicants will receive word of
their status by Wednesday, December 4.
