seeks 5 enthusiastic summer staff members for our 2023 Girls Science +
Nature Camp season.*

The goal of this program is to build the confidence of middle-school girls
in the sciences by providing them with role models of women in STEM. Each
5-day/4-night session is focused on STEAM activities and outdoor
educational programming for 12 middle school-aged girls (entering 7th and
8th grade). The cornerstone of this experience is the opportunity to engage
with female scientists from nearby, world-renowned Woods Hole scientific
institutions. Our focus is on science, art, and outdoor education through
the lens of a unique island environment and its wildlife. Camp sessions run
from July 3 - August 4, on the remote island of Penikese, located 15 miles
off Cape Cod. Pre-camp orientation week is June 26-30.
