UMD Volcano Camp

UMD Volcano Camp is a week-long summer program. PG county high school students and future STEM teachers from UMD's Terrapin Teachers program get to do hands-on volcanology research. Students learn how to identify and analyze crystals in volcanic ash. We also visit the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History! You can check out pictures and results from the 2024 camp at this website!

Thanks to the NSF CAREER program for making this possible!
