Brain Camp

Designed for students ages 10–12 years old

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we unfortunately will not be able to offer this program in 2020.

The Buck Brain Camp is an exciting and innovative weeklong program designed to educate and inspire students about the brain and sensory system. Students who venture forth with curious minds will immerse themselves in brain science, art, and puzzles!

In hands-on, minds-on activities will cover the neurobiology of the senses, brain anatomy, and disorders of the nervous system. There is no better way to use your brain during the summer than at Brain Camp!
