Every year, UNCG hosts a variety of summer camps, presenting unique and fun opportunities for students to engage in activities across the University. This year, offerings include camps in herpetology, robotics, music, sports, and more.
Herpetological Research Experience
June 14-19
In this residential research-based camp, rising 9th- through 12th-graders work alongside field experts in exploring the vast ecosystem at Chestnut Ridge Camp and Retreat Center. Each morning, students go into the field to catch, catalog, and release various reptiles and amphibians. They will study the inhabitants of ephemeral pools, streams, lakes and hardwood forests.

In daily workshops, the students work with UNCG faculty, graduate students, North Carolina teachers and local authors who support the development of a variety of writing styles. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in a special “Writing and Robotics” companion program and visit the Weatherspoon Art Museum to learn how to use visual art to inspire their writing.
