Hello future scientists! My name is Dr. Stachowski.  I am a biochemistry professor at Naz and I am excited to return to Science Camp as Camp Director. I can’t wait to meet all of you & have some fun as we explore the magic of Harry Potter and Disney with science!

Braelyn Saunders

Teacher

Hello Everyone! I am so thrilled to be back at camp this year! This will be my third year at Science Camp, but the first year in the teacher role. As a double Nazareth Alum (‘22 &‘23G) nothing makes me happier than being at the place I have called home the past five years doing the thing I love most… teaching! I am beyond excited for camp to start and to have some magical fun!
