FIELD CAMP (Entering Grades 9-12)
Students entering grades 9-12, are you interested in science, the outdoors, learning about your environment? Have you ever thought about spending the day with a researcher in the field?
Well, if so, the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science’s High School Field Camp is just what you need!
Campers will spend the week in the Pine Hills and Planes of Mississippi’s central region. Guided by research scientists, we will study Mississippi’s native and endangered species such as black bear, bats, and gopher tortoises and discover fossils and other natural treasures.
This camp is not for the faint of heart; however, it is truly a one-of-a-kind experience, providing a new perspective of what research scientists do daily. Come join us and explore Mississippi’s beautiful habitats and amazing wildlife.
Campers will be staying at Percy Quin State Park, in McComb, Mississippi, for the duration of the week.
