SUMMARY:Young Scientists Research Experience
DESCRIPTION:During this unique experience\, students will explore and carry out their own research project. Young Scientists will engage in inquiry-based\, hands-on learning as they develop their own research questions\, collect and analyze data\, and present their results\, all under the guidance of an experienced mentor. This opportunity is perfect for middle and high school students with an interest in the environmental and natural sciences and the desire to experience ecological fieldwork. We welcome motivated students who are excited to spend the week at our beautiful\, 900-acre field station in the northern Virginia Piedmont in the company of like-minded peers. \nExample research questions include: \n\nHow does road noise affect the singing of birds\, frogs\, and other animals?\nWhere on the field station is there the most evidence of deer and other mammals?\nAre there more insects on plants that are native to Virginia or on exotic plants?\n\nAges: 13-18 at the time of camp. \nCost: $350.  Please note that the ticket will appear as “Free” until registration opens. \nCancellation Policy: Cancellations prior to 30 days before the start of camp will receive a full refund\, minus a $50 nonrefundable registration fee. Notice of cancellation must be submitted in writing. Cancellations within 30 days of camp start date forfeit full tuition. \nPaperwork:  Within 3 days of registration\, you will be emailed liability\, medical\, and emergency contact forms to be filled out and returned by April 15\, 2022.  If you do not submit your paperwork by this date\, you will be refunded all but the $50 and the spot will be offered to the next person on the wait list.  Paperwork is important for us to plan!  Please send it to camps@cliftoninstitute.org upon completion! \nVaccination Policy:  All staff and campers aged 5 and above must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19\, in addition to being up-to-date with all Virginia Board of Health School Immunization requirements for the appropriate age (found here). \nMask Policy: All campers and staff are required to have a mask with them at all times. We enforce mask wearing when social distancing is not possible and if inside due to inclement weather. \nScholarships:  If you are interested in a scholarship\, please fill out this Scholarship Application Form and email a completed copy (or photo of it) to camps@cliftoninstitute.org before registering so that we can ensure you are not charged full price.

SUMMARY:Young Explorers Camp: Session 1
DESCRIPTION:Each day at Young Explorers camp\, children will explore the field station with our naturalists and learn about the plants and animals that live in the northern Virginia Piedmont. In the afternoon\, children will enjoy crafts and games that will expand their knowledge of ecology and the environment. Campers will gain a deep understanding of our natural surroundings and the confidence they need to continue spending time outdoors for years to come. We will do a different set of activities each week so campers can have interesting and enriching experiences by coming to either week individually or both weeks.  Families are welcome and encouraged to register for both weeks but must pay for each session separately. Students will bring their own snacks and lunches from home. \nAges: 7-12 at the time of camp. \nCost: $215.00.  Please note that the ticket will appear as “Free” until registration opens. \nCancellation Policy: Cancellations prior to 30 days before the start of camp will receive a full refund\, minus a $50 nonrefundable registration fee.
