We are a group of scientists passionate about science and young people. We 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 10–17, 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.

Join us for an incredible week of fun in the outdoors! We will spend a week doing science, art and exploring the boreal forest surrounding the Fairbanks Area. There will be a camp orientation prior to camp and a camp sharing day on the last day of camp for family and friends to learn about what we did.
Ready to kick it up a notch? This overnight camp is for youth ages 12 and older who have participated in one of our Bonanza Creek camps in a previous year. We will spend 4 days (3 nights) in Denali State Park, camping at a road-accessible campground.
Ready to take on a new role? This program is for youth ages 15–17 who have participated in at least one of our camps in a previous year and are ready to lead. You'll develop new activities that you will lead at the BNZ camp, participate in career exploration, and practice basic job skills in a fun and supportive atmosphere.
We thank these partners for their generous support
