AWESOME Geology & Ecology summer camps in the North Hills

NORTH HILLS: Providence Heights Alpha School – July 10 – 14 entering grades 2 - 8

Jr Geologist

Are you mad for minerals, crazy for crystals, frenzied for
fossils? You belong among the Jr. Geologists! During an action-packed
week designed for the geo-enthusiast, we’ll grow glowing crystals, crack
giant geodes, recreate volcanic eruptions, and unravel the mysteries of
rocks and minerals with the tools of professionals. We’ll put your
skills to the test to identify real rubies and emeralds among fakes,
make a cast of a trilobite fossil and even travel back in time to pan
gold! Together, we’ll discover more about Pittsburgh’s fascinating
prehistoric history and crack local ancient rocks to find fossils that
haven’t seen the light of day for millions of years!

Ecosystems Scientist

During an epic week of environmental adventures, we’ll explore the world’s
biomes: deserts, rainforests, tundra and more! We’ll discover which
animals call our area home and which poisonous, edible or medicinal
plants might be found in your own backyard! We’ll learn some wilderness
survival skills and techniques that an ecosystem scientist might use in
the field and we’ll use cool color-changing chemical tests to discover
the secrets of soil. Get ready to explore the amazing life forms found
in fresh and saltwater, to peer through microscopes, and to devise
solutions to challenges like creating an anti-venom for a mock
snakebite!
