Discover the wonderful world of science in a fun, hands-on environment. This unique one-week camp is an opportunity to expand your young scientist’s understanding of science. Campers make water rockets, cardboard boats that float, slime, speakers, and perform chemistry experiments with liquid nitrogen. An excursion to the UCSB Marine Science Institute and Ratheon Vision Systems is included.

About the Director
Director, Heather Hertema
Hi! I am currently a student at the University of California, San Francisco pursuing a doctorate degree in pharmacy. Before moving to San Francisco, I was an adjunct faculty member at Westmont College. While in beautiful Santa Barbara, I was honored to share my excitement about science through Discovery Camp. I am passionate about inspiring and motivating young students to pursue science in college and as a career, and I look forward to directing another wonderful camp and to meeting you!
