The EcoLogik Institute: Free Summer STEM Camp Opportunity for San Diego Youth!
Now Accepting Applications for Our FREE Summer STEM Program!
The EcoLogik Institute recently secured funding through the San Diego Foundation to host a FREE two-week summer program for girls and gender-expansive youth. Camp will take place July 20 through August 1 at the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve and Silver Strand Beach, where participants will engage in hands-on environmental science, conservation, and outdoor learning experiences alongside women in STEM professionals. Throughout the program, participants will build valuable STEM, leadership, and teamwork skills, connect with professional scientists, and gain meaningful experiences that can strengthen future college, scholarship, and career applications. Transportation to and from the campsites will be provided from a central location in the South Bay community accessible by public transportation.
To ensure participants get the full benefit of the program, we are looking for youth who can commit to attending the entire two-week camp.
