The Science of Being Human
What makes humans… human? This summer, campers explore the extraordinary science of the human body and the remarkable achievements we’ve made along the way. From the microscopic microbes living on our skin to the technology that launched us to the further frontier, campers discover how biology, creativity and curiosity have shaped our stories.
Celebrate our amazing selves, each other, humanity… and imagine what might come next!
