Campers at Celsius and Beyond are guided through an exploration into a topic that excites them, and through these explorations, they emerge with transferrable skills that shape how they understand themselves and their world. To us, learning to think scientifically means learning to seek out verifiable information, evaluate evidence, and construct new beliefs and theories supported by the strongest evidence. 

Today more then ever people are required to navigate complex informational landscapes. Practice in scientific thinking can empower them to direct their own learning and to distinguish fact from fiction. As children and teens develop increasingly specific interests, they take on more and more responsibility for their own learning. 

We also believe that the critical thinking skills honed by scientists can be cultivated in all learners, not just those who want to become scientists someday. While it’s true that a background in science or engineering can often be a recipe for financial or career success, our camps simply aim to make learning fun, and make it stick. 

Because each new group of campers presents new opportunities to learn from the social, emotional, logical, and physical intelligence of their peers, no two weeks of camp are the same, and we think that’s a good thing. After all, today’s dinosaur-obsessed kid maybe tomorrow’s planetary science guru or neurosurgeon extraordinaire.

Do you have a few weeks or months off from school or work duties?

What better way to make a meaningful use of your time than to inspire the next generation of scientists and world citizens?  Share your true passion for any science subject, and we mean ANY, with smart and curious kids.  While you will do good in the world, you will be paid well because we appreciate scientists.  We welcome PhDs, Master’s or Bachelor’s degrees.  We only care that you are well versed in your field and are passionate about your area of expertise. 

We offer programs in popular science topics such as genetics, botany, neuroscience, and marine mammals, as well as less taught subjects such as Love and Sex in the Animal Kingdom and Eco-Evo-Devo. Our students love them all.

We don’t discriminate.  You can be white, black or purple.  You can be male, female or unspecified. You can be young, ancient or ageless. You can be an American, a foreigner or from another planet. You’ve got the idea.  We only care about your talent.
