The Welty Environmental Center is happy to announce that we will be co-hosting a three-day citizen science camp for middle and high school learners with Hendricks CareerTek this summer!

GLOBE Citizen Science Camp encourages students to connect with the outdoors by investigating the many spheres of the world: atmosphere (air and weather), pedosphere (soil), and hydrosphere (water). Over the course of this week, campers will become citizen scientists and share their observations with NASA scientists through the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program.

This hands-on experience will demonstrate various STEM fields that students can pursue in the future. Participants must be prepared to spend time outdoors (i.e., sunscreen, bug spray, long pants, close-toed shoes) and bring old shoes for use in the water as we will be exploring wetlands during this week as well!
