9 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
 Monday-Friday, July 17-28

In the Cosmic Investigators Odyssey Camp, students begin their journey of learning to navigate by preparing a star shapes and stories log book. Of course, they will need to know the different types of telescopes, how they work and build one to take home. Participants will explore our solar system, making moon craters, solar viewing, investigating edible rocks (meteors), conducting planet temperature experiments and building a pocket solar system. Along the way, students will participate in the Viking search for life experiments and look for life in the universe.

Campers and their families are invited to a star party with the River Bend Astronomy Club on the evening of Saturday, July 22 at the Shaw Sky Lab on SIUE's campus.  

Registration costs for Odyssey Science Camps are $325, plus a $25 non-refundable application fee. Registration information is available at siue.edu/summer/camps.

Get the Discounted Registration Rate for SIUE Summer String Camp

Only two weeks remain to get the discounted registration rate for the SIUE Summer String Camp! Sponsored by the SIUE Suzuki Program, this camp is for all string players from an early level through middle school/Suzuki book 4 level.

10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Tuesday-Friday, July 18-21
 Dunham Hall

Students do not need to be Suzuki students to attend. We welcome all violinists, violists and cellists. Students will receive three classes per day plus an hour of lunch, concerts and fun activities. The week concludes with a Friday concert where we show off everything we have accomplished in just a few days. This is the perfect time to get a boost to summer practice and head start on the new school year.

We also offer an optional fiddle class (open to all instruments) and private lessons!

Full camp information and registration is available here.

Please contact Erika Lord-Castillo at 618-650-2839 or elordca@siue.edu if you have any questions.
