What People Say About SSC

Both of my kids attended the Science Camp this year and I have never seen them so excited about what they learned. They loved the hands-on approach to experiments in class and all the teachers and staff made the experience educational and fun. – T. V.

SSC has provided my children a unique opportunity to learn science in a hands-on environment where they are encouraged to participate, reason, and experiment with the concepts they are taught. This positive experience has provided them with an enthusiasm towards learning and understanding more about the world we live in. – I. Z.

My son has been attending this camp since he was in the second grade. He is now in the sixth grade and he is always eager to attend science camp. We don’t mind the drive from Riverside each year because it is worth it! – Pavlova Vitale

I attended camp as a young girl and my grandfather now volunteers his time over the summer. It is an exciting program that gives the youth of today an encouraging place to learn and grow. – S. Matter

As a former student and a current volunteer, I have been involved with this program for six years. What motivates me to come back year after year is the knowledge that if America is to progress in the years to come, it will need to produce more scientists and engineers. By motivating students at a young age and exposing them to the sciences, SSC is taking a step forward in making this happen. – Calvin Cheng

SSC is an opportunity for students to get math/science exposure with student/teacher ratios that are not possible within a traditional school setting. With the individual attention and encouragement, students have an opportunity to reach their potential. – Marlene Eckert

I have been involved with this program for 8 years now. I enjoy spreading the world of science with the kids and seeing them “light up” when they get it. This program really promotes the sciences. This is an area that is somewhat lacking in our public education. – Craig Borden

This camp has really been a great experience for me as a volunteer. I have never seen students more excited about science and I have never seen science presented in an exciting manner. I am very thankful for the resources that are made available through Summer Science Camp. I wish I would have known about this program sooner. – Volunteer

I have been a volunteer for 14 years. This program fills a major void in the education system by providing exciting workshops that combine technical concepts with hands-activities on a variety of scientific topics. Today’s students are tomorrow’s technical leaders, engineers, medical researchers. – K. J.

Both of my children went through SSC when it first started and I was a volunteer and learning with them. I feel that this camp helped to form who they are today. – Mona Levig

I have volunteered at this camp for the past 12 years and the work done there with the children is amazing. They are exposed to levels of science and math and engineering that most students don’t get until college. – Volunteer

The summer science program is fun for children while exposing them to science and math which is the gateway to higher education. – Sharon Dean

The science camp is a great way to get kids exposed to science, engineering, and creativity. – Kevin Romero

I have been fortunate to volunteer to support summer science camp and seen first hand the amazing impact that having fun with science and learning can have on children. – Rebecca Taylor
