This summer academic camp is a living/learning summer community of students, teachers, and scientists working together to help youth follow their dreams by encouraging science education for tomorrows leaders. In the summers of 2010-2015, we hosted 10-day ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp for middle school youth. During summers of 2003-2010, we hosted "Wyoming Astrocamp", a similar residential summer science camp for middle school students. Since 2018 we host the UW Teton STEM Academy, made possible by a generous gift from the estate of Harry and Mary Ann Lawroski of Jackson, WY. Some photos of past camps can be found here. A short video of the 2019 camp can be found here.

Other summer camps at UW may be found at the UW camps page under the K-12 STEM programs category. Note in particular the Windy Ridge Foundation Astro Camp for junior high students.
