Our environment is a complex, fragile system and we are only now beginning to understand our place in it. Faced with issues such as climate change, mass extinctions, and environmental remediation, people are having to make decisions today that will affect the world for generations to come. The Environmental Science Summer Camp at Purdue Northwest will give you a hands-on introduction into the complexities behind these decisions.

Campers will engage in instructional activities in the classroom, the laboratory and in the field. You will become familiar with pipette handling, extraction, tree identification, waste treatment processes, and sample monitoring and data analysis of pollutants in water and air.

Building off of the multi-disciplinary approach developed at Purdue Northwest and using sites such as Gabis Arboretum, you will learn about current and future methods for sustainable development. The environment is your laboratory!
