Summer Opportunities for the Kids

The National Center for Health Marketing's Global Health Odyssey Museum is pleased to offer the 2009 CDC Disease Detective Camp (DDC) at CDC headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. DDC is an academic day camp for students who will be high school juniors and seniors during the 2009-2010 school year. Over the course of a week, campers will take on the roles of disease detectives and learn how CDC safeguards the nation’s health. Activities vary by day and may include short lectures by CDC experts, a mock press conference in the CDC press room, a look behind the scenes of CDC, and other hands-on activities. Campers will learn the methodologies used to track diseases in populations, basic lab procedures used in an infectious disease lab, and how public health research is applied at CDC.

The CDC Disease Detective Camp will be offered twice during the summer of 2009: June 22-26 and July 13-17. Both sessions will offer the same activities and will last from 8:45AM – 4:00PM. There is no cost associated with attending the camp, but each camper is responsible for bringing or buying his/her lunch.

The deadline for applications is April 20, 2009. For more information on the camp and the application process, please visit http://www.cdc..gov/gcc/exhibit/camp.htm.

Sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Undergraduate Biological Education Program grant to The College of William and Mary.

The Science Training and Research (STAR) Program is a pre-collegiate summer enrichment program for rising 11th graders from disadvantaged backgrounds. Because such students are often unaware of the rich and varied opportunities available to them in the sciences, this unique program is designed to introduce students to the world of science, research, and technology. Twenty-five students will be selected to participate in this 4-week residential program at The College of William and Mary.

The STAR Program 6/20/-7/18/2009

*Provides the challenge of an authentic college experience through a four-week program of living & learning on campus.

*Seeks to stimulate students' intellectual curiosities in the areas of science, research, & technology; including, for example, opportunities for students to become familiar with college laboratories.

*Assigns each student a faculty-mentor according to the student's individual interests; these mentoring relationships are fundamental to the summer program & will continue through the student's years in high school.

*Offers students an opportunity to improve their performance on the new SAT through intensive preparation workshops.

*Assists students with considering those qualities that will be important to them in college.
