"I think people should come to science camp because it is a fun learning experience. I loved science camp and I bet anyone who comes here will have tons of fun! My most treasured memories are probably going to be of science camp. It was so exciting and will always be remembered in my life."
-Marissa, St. Anthony School
"My favorite things at science camp are the food, the funny and nice friends, my cabin leaders and the wonderful songs that ALWAYS seem to get stuck in my head. The forest is beautiful and I learned that we need to care for the earth much better than we do because 'You never know the worth of water until the well goes dry'".
-Malaina, St. Luke's School
"Science camp brings out your wild side." -Savannah, St. Anthony School
