Camp will run Monday-Friday, 8:30am-12:00pm, July 14-25, 2025.

Join us as we do hands-on investigations in the classroom and visit campus resources like the Marine Lab, Shark Lab, Vertebrate Lab, Bug Lab, Science Learning Center, Japanese Gardens, and more - all on campus.

Young Scientists Camp is an exciting program that brings students, experienced teachers, future teachers and science specialists together for two weeks of hands-on exploration, discovery, and fun! This is an academically focused, hands-on science camp program hosted on the California State University, Long Beach campus for children entering 2nd-8th grade.

We also host SEE US Succeed!, a two-week summer science camp program for Long Beach Unified students experiencing homelessness. Please consider making a donation to support campers for that program.
