The National Youth Science Camp is a residential science education program for young scientists the summer after they graduate from high school. Students from around the country are challenged to explore new areas in the biological and physical sciences, art, and music with staff members. Opportunities are provided for delegates to present seminars covering their own areas of interest and research. Selected delegates attend the National Youth Science Camp at no expense, transportation included, due to the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation.
