Inspiring and connecting foster youth through science, art, culture and outdoor adventures
Welcome to Fostering Science!
Welcome to Fostering Science!
We are a group of scientists passionate about science and young people. We strongly believe every kid deserves an opportunity to go to summer camp, and every kid should get a chance to learn how much fun science can be. If you're in foster care and aged 10-18, we'd love to have you join us on our science adventure ! Our camps are full of science, art, adventure, fun, and friendship. Most kids come back again and again.
