Science Camp occurs at the Rivendell School System and was developed in conjunction with the science education experts of the Montshire Museum of Science in nearby Norwich, VT through an established collaboration between the Museum and the College.  Science Camp is a highly structured inquiry-based science program the content of which is correlated with Vermont and New Hampshire State Science Standards and grade level expectations. The camp is for grades 3 - 6.

The Office of Outreach, a component of the Office of the Provost, supports this effort.  Nancy Serrell, an experienced science writer, heads the office whose charge is to coordinate and sustain programs for science outreach at Dartmouth.

In order to make improvements in the Science Camp Program from year to year, we have had an independent evaluator, Dr. Jane Kory, interview all participants and prepare yearly reports. The feedback and insight we have received via these annual, formative evaluations have been instrumental in helping us take the necessary steps to improve the program at each iteration.

The formative evaluations of Science Camp can be found here.

Information about the winter 2011 session of Science Camp can be found here, and the application form can be found here. Graduate students also need to fill out a permission form. The completed application and admission form (if required) must be received by Nancy Serrell no later than Friday, 19 November 2010.
