Genetics Camp 2019


For Campers Entering Grades 2-10

Session 3: July 28 - August9



Do you want to learn about your future and the future of science? Then this is the course for you! Genetics helps explain a lot of things, like what makes you unique, why you look like other members of your family, and why some diseases run in your family. Taking time to learn about genetics can help you understand your own health and make healthy choices. Genes that do not work correctly can cause problems. A group of rare diseases are caused when a single gene stops working normally. Many more common diseases come from multiple genes that do not work correctly and the combination of these genes with the environment, such as your lifestyle and habits. In this course you will investigate your family health history, you will manipulate genes, you will learn the foundations of biotechnology, and most importantly you will learn about you! The more you know, the easier it is to make the right decisions.


Note: There is a $50 surcharge per session for additional equipment and staff requirements.

Schedule
Half the day consists of Genetics. For the other half of the day, your child is placed in a recreation group of 8-10 campers in the same grade and gender where all campers enjoy lunch, instructional swim and recreational sports.
