My son has been attending summer camps at the Museum of Life and Science exclusively since he was a rising first grader. He is now a rising sixth grader, loves science, and hopes to volunteer at the museum starting next year. I am thrilled that these camps have created a homeaway-from-home atmosphere for my son, has instilled a love for science, and has encouraged him to be a volunteer. - Parent of a 6th grade camper 25

NEW! audacity labs four-week session july 8 - august 2 In a first-of-its-kind for the Triangle region, teen participants become entrepreneurs. Audacity Labs is a collaboration between Duke University's Innovation & Entrepreneurship initiative, American Underground, Re:City, and the Museum of Life and Science. Participants will be immersed in the skills and tools of the modern entrepreneur, including lean start-up, Human Centered Design, and the basics of coding. They will develop and prototype their own concept for a business or social enterprise, culminating in a pitch day in downtown Durham. Due to its ambitious nature, this camp requires a four-week commitment, and is limited to a small cohort of participants (rising 9th-12 graders) for the pilot. Camp is to run from July 8 - August 2 and will be based at our partner locations in downtown Durham. The four-week session is $1,360 for members and $1,500 for non-members. This camp runs from 9am-3pm daily. Extended care options (morning or afternoon) are not available for this camp. 27
