Attention parents!<\/strong> This summer, we are thrilled to have four Hudson Valley faculty members presenting classes.<\/p>\n Nature is Calling<\/strong> \u201cElement\u201d-ary Matters of Chemistry<\/strong> Forensics Crime Scene I<\/strong> The Science of Sport<\/strong>
\nDid you know the Office of Community & Professional Education offers an extensive summer camp program? We serve over 800 children each year.<\/p>\n
\n $95\/five half-day sessions<\/strong>
\nCome explore various habitats around the Hudson Valley
\ncampus! Campers will collect leaves, flowers, seeds, insects
\nand other specimens from three different ecosystems on
\ncampus. We will bring our collections back to the laboratory
\nand learn how to use field guides and dichotomous keys to
\nidentify them. Campers will pin and label their specimens
\ninto shadow boxes to create a scientific collection that they
\ncan take home at the end of the week! Course fee includes
\na $10 materials fee.
\nEntering grades 3 – 5<\/strong>

\n Wendi Quidort, instructor<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n $110\/five half-day sessions<\/strong>
\nCome investigate the components and properties of matter! Are you interested in knowing what things are made of? Do you love trying science experiments and even designing
\nyour own? Campers will investigate a different component of
\nmatter each day, building up to a Friday full of chemical reactions. From elements to compounds, from homogeneous to heterogeneous mixtures, each day will include hands-on activities and demonstrations that will inspire the budding chemist. Course fee includes a $25 materials fee.
\nEntering grades 6 – 8<\/strong>
\n 70780 Mon. – Fri., 9 a.m. – noon, August 10 – 14<\/strong>

\n $95\/five half-day sessions<\/strong>
\nHave you ever watched \u201cCSI\u201d or \u201cLaw and Order\u201d and wondered, \u201cHow did they do that?\u201d Come and find out. Forensics campers will take a crime scene from start to finish; casting impressions, fingerprinting, processing the evidence and interviewing and interrogating our suspects. Come see CSI come to life! Course fee includes a $10 materials fee.
\nEntering grades 6 – 8<\/strong>

\nEver wonder how NBA and WNBA players can jump so high? How is it possible for a small wooden bat to launch a baseball
\n350 feet? The answers to these questions (and more!) will be
\nexplored in the \u201cScience of Sport\u201d summer camp. This hands-on camp will allow you to learn about scientific concepts as they relate to sport, including: lever systems, bone and muscle structure, and the composition of Gatorade. Every camper will have the opportunity to measure variables on themselves (like wing span!), use computer applications to analyze sports drinks (there\u2019s an app for that!), as well as try out these scientific principles (let\u2019s play ball!).
