National Youth Science Camp delegates needed

Two South Dakota high school seniors will receive a full scholarship to attend the 2008 National Youth Science Camp, June 29-July 26, in West Virginia.

Students chosen to attend the camp will spend nearly one month studying with scientists and other professionals from the academic and corporate worlds. The experience includes lectures and hands-on research projects facilitated by scientists from across the nation. Participants will make overnight expeditions into the nearby Monongahela National Forest, and they will visit Washington, D.C. The camp is held at Bartow in the eastern mountains of West Virginia.

Information regarding this opportunity has been sent to a number of high school teachers. However, applications are still being accepted until Feb. 18. For information, contact Brenda Robertson at the Department of Education, (605) 773-2533 or brenda.robertson@state.sd.us
