Young Scientists Camp

Summer Science Camp for Students in Grades 2-8

Join Us in Summer 2024!

Summer 2023 had 245 kids who participated in Young Scientists Camp. We are looking forward to having a similar number of campers with us for Summer 2024! Camp will run Monday-Friday, 8:30am-12:00pm, July 15-26, 2024.

Join us as we do hands-on investigations in the classroom and visit campus resources like the Marine Lab, Shark Lab, Vertebrate Lab, Bug Lab, Science Learning Center, Japanese Gardens, and the scanning electron microscope on campus. View this year's topics.

Make sure to reserve your spot soon! Grades 2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 are already sold out. You may contact ysc@csulb.edu to be put on the waitlist for these grades.

Young Scientists Camp is an exciting program that brings students, experienced teachers, future teachers and science specialists together for two weeks of hands-on exploration, discovery, and fun! This is an academically focused, hands-on science camp program hosted on the California State University, Long Beach campus for children entering 2nd-8th grade.

Physical Science for High School Girls

This year we are pleased to offer a physical science program for girls entering 9th-12th grades. This program aims to encourage girls to pursue the physical sciences in high school and beyond.

SEE US Succeed!

We also host SEE US Succeed!, a two-week summer science camp program for Long Beach Unified students experiencing homelessness. Please consider making a donation to support campers for that program.
