News :: Vanderbilt Center for Science Outreach

As of today, registration for the 2007 GAS Camps is closed. A successful year of BEST Camp finished in June with two sessions of new campers and, for the first time, a session of boys returning for their second summer of camp at Vanderbilt. 8th and 9th grade girls are participating in three sessions of GAS Camp on Vanderbilt's campus in July. Additionally, 10 girls already participated in a session at Dyer Observatory in June. Be sure to check back in the spring of 2008 when dates and details of next year's camps will be announced!

This summer, 31 rising 12th grade students have participated in summer research internships sponsored by the Center for Science Outreach and the School for Science and Math at Vanderbilt. These science internships will culminate with a research symposium on July 19 where each student will present a poster detailing his or her project.

We look forward to your joining us for this fantastic event!

The CSO has recently completed another successful summer of BEST Camp, as well as the first session of GAS Camp, which was held at Dyer Observatory. We will post some pictures of activities from both camps in the near future. This July, three more sessions of GAS Camp will be held. While the July 9-13 and July 16-20 sessions are full, there are still a few spots available for the July 23-27 session.
