Teilhard Camp for Science Challenges 

Aim and Mission Statement

Teilhard Camp for Science Challenges is inspired by the life and legacy of Jesuit priest and visionary scientist, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. As a camp dedicated to students from elementary to high school who have a passion for science, we seek to foster the development of inclusive scientists who, like Teilhard, can illuminate the darkest corners of our world through their scientific endeavors.

Our Mission

Our mission at Teilhard Camp for Science Challenges is to create an environment where young, aspiring scientists can flourish. We are dedicated to:

1. Encouraging Scientific Curiosity and Exploration: We aim to nurture a deep sense of curiosity and a love for exploration in our campers, encouraging them to ask bold questions and seek innovative solutions.

2. Fostering Interdisciplinary Learning: Just as Teilhard bridged the realms of science and spirituality, we emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary learning. We encourage our students to see the interconnectedness of different fields and to approach problems with a comprehensive perspective.

3. Promoting Courage and Integrity: Inspired by Teilhard’s courage to acknowledge and embrace the implications of his discoveries, we strive to instill a sense of integrity and bravery in our students. We encourage them to stand by their convictions and contribute to the scientific community with honesty and valor.

4. Cultivating Inclusivity and Compassion: We are committed to nurturing compassionate scientists who understand the ethical and philosophical dimensions of their work. Our goal is to develop individuals who use science not just for progress, but to shed light on the darkest areas of society, promoting inclusivity and positive change.
