The Summer Science Safari Summer Camp
2021
Wow...what a year 2020 has been---NOT!
We are certainly ready to get last year, 2020, behind us......AND, now with new vaccines coming online, we are optimistic about having camp the Summer of 2021. With this in mind, we are in the process of posting dates and locations for this summer's camps. We anticipate there will still be Covid-19 related challenges and issues this summer and we ask your patience in helping us deal with those challenges--whatever they may be.
WE WILL ALL NEED A GREAT SUMMER
and at Summer Science Safari we intend to do just that!

Introduction
It’s that time of year again and we’ve been working hard to prepare a science camp experience that will make your science student excited about science. We will explore some new destinations as well as some old favorites. Your student has seen the pictures in the science textbook, now they can experience the science first hand-going to places where science is actually happening everyday!. Whether it’s exploring Hill Country ecology by Zip-Line or learning human anatomy in a state of the art medical school laboratory, your student is sure to learn and see many fascinating things—not to mention, having a great time.
We believe the middle school/junior high years are a time for exploring and investigation…and having a lot of fun learning along the way. Young people develop their dreams for the future at this age. At Summer Science Safari, we help students envision their futures and what it takes for them to achieve their goals. We pack as much science and learning into five days as we can and top it off with lots of fun.
For our high school students, we are taking the concept even further by introducing our students to professions in science, engineering, and applied mathematics at facilities where professionals in their fields actually carry on their work. Although the level of activities is higher than for the middle/junior high level students, the concept is the same...to learn how science actually works in our society and how they can become a part of it.
ALL of our Camp Leaders are Certified GT/HONORS LEVEL Science Teachers at some of the very best middle/junior high and high schools in the greater Houston area. Most all of our teachers are involved in competitive science activities such as Science Olympiad, Olympics of the Mind, Robotics, and the like, so they know what it takes to motivate high performing students. We will have 2 adults assigned for every Session with a maximum of 13 students.
We promise you and your student a summer science camp experience that will far surpass ANYTHING we could provide our students in the normal classroom environment. One parent once said, "It's like 12 science field trips in 5 days." We keep our Sessions small, typically limited to 13 students, so we can get into venues where most school groups can not---like a nuclear reactor, a medical or veterinary school, firefighting school, zip-lining, wind tunnels, cyclotrons, etc. We are certain to have "something" of interest for every student with an interest in ANY area of Science. From Microscopes to Telescopes, we cover it all.
For over 20 years, Joe Watson, Head Coach of the 2011 State Champion Riverwood (Kingwood) Middle School Science Olympiad Team and Head Coach of the 2013 State Champion Beckendorff (Katy) Junior High Science Olympiad Team, has provided one of the best Summer Camps, around. With degrees in Meteorology and Secondary Education and Certifications in G/T and Earth and Life Sciences, he has had over 21 years’ experience teaching middle school/junior high students. Along with our team of science professionals we have created a science adventure that you don’t want to miss. Mr. Watson will coordinate the Kingwood, Bar Area, and The Woodlands Areas.
For information on our camps and your camp leaders, please check out the 2021 Activities and Registration tab at the left for your area.
Just remember, students DO NOT have to attend any of these schools in order to attend the Summer Science Safari. In fact, our students have come from all over the Houston Area, all over the country,
and even from around the world!
Our camp was even featured on Humble ISD District TV with Dr. Sconzo, the former Superientent of Schools, Humble ISD.
To check out what we have in store for this year, please click the 2021 Activities and Registration Tab to the left and be sure to check out the activities video at the top of this page!
The Summer Science Safari is a Monday through Friday day-camp except for the Wednesday/Thursday, 2-day, overnight trip to the San Antonio area. Because of the nature of our camp, we do not have exact drop off and pick up times until a few weeks before the camp starts. As a rule, you can consider most days will be from about 7:00 am to 7:00 pm.
Since our sessions are small and they fill up fast so sign up, today!
Students DO NOT have to live in these areas to attend!
The 2021 Sessions Are Listed Below
Remember, Each Session Runs for the 5 Day Week with one Overnight trip on Wednesday/Thursday!
