Sure Beats Poison Ivy and Sunburn!
Do you know a student that would love to go to a camp where there are no biting insects or poison ivy? Well look no further than Appalachian State University this summer! High School students can enjoy a two-week residential Russian immersion camp; study the human skeleton and practice surgery (not on humans!); immerse themselves in drawing, painting, casting and digital media while making art that matters; tackle the age old question, “What is math good for?” at Math Camp; and learn the ins and outs of social media tools at Appalachian Youth Technology Business Camp.
Younger students can join in the fun as well! Math Camp is for everyone, both those that love it and those that fear it. Future authors of the world will love Writing4Fun Camp where they will learn all sorts of social media skills and be able to share their written work with the whole planet. How cool is that?! Animal Studies campers will have the opportunity to study (and hold!) live salamanders, lizards, snakes, and turtles, and plenty of preserved animal specimens as well. And, who knows? Campers at Camp Invention might just start their journey to being the next Thomas Edison, Virginia Apgar, or Mary Anderson (inventor of the windshield wiper, for those not in the know)!
Appalachian offers enrichment opportunities for every age from first grade through high school graduates. There are camps for every budget too. Some offer financial aid, and one is even free! You can learn more about these programs, and dozens more, at http://www.camps.appstate.edu/
