**Register by June 24.

This summer, search under rocks for crawdads and salamanders, test stream waters for salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen and learn how those elements interact with living and non-living components of stream systems. At this summer institute, you’ll explore how a fish, an insect, algae and even an old tire, influence each other and are affected by one another in a continuum — from small streams to large rivers.

You’ll engage in learning experiences about the environment and long-term ecological studies, as well as explore career possibilities in science and ecology.

Students entering grades 10–12 are invited to register.

Rising high school seniors who attend a Summer Pre-College Program will earn a $1,000 Visit Grant — $4,000 over four years. If admitted, this grant will be automatically awarded in addition to any other merit or need-based financial aid for which you might qualify.
