The Science & Adventure of the Movies

It's our 4th annual GEMS (Girls Exploring Math & Science) summer camp and we're rolling out the red carpet with this year's theme, "The Science & Adventure of the Movies." Our camp is for any girl, ages 8-13, to explore math, science, and technology through fun, interactive activities.

Girls who are Scouts can earn up to five Junior, Cadette or Ambassador recognitions or badges in one week by completing specific activities and a journal.

We've got your ticket to fun this summer!

Overview:

This year, we are providing each camper with a ticket to the science and adventure of the movies. We'll combine the science of movies in exciting ways. Learn about the science of Harry Potter, the physics of Jimmy Neutron in the pool, create and program Alien Encounter Robots and much, much more. A special field trip to Universal Studios where we'll get a special behind-the-science of the movies tour is included in this camp.

You'll also learn this science and technology:

• Physics & Space Science
• Math
• Robotics
• Chemistry

Counselors: 90% of our counselors are female Aerospace Engineering students who are experienced and knowledgeable about engineering, scientific principles, and how to make camp fun. Many were Girl Scouts or camp counselors previously. The other 10% of our counselors are male or female engineering, meteorology, aeronautical science, or other majors at Embry-Riddle. All counselors are chosen for their ability to work with young girls and are background checked by the Volusia County Schools. Each class room has at least two qualified counselors. Campers use the buddy system and are accompanied by a female counselor at all times. There are 10 counselors on staff throughout the camp as well as an Assistant Director and two Co-Directors.
