Virtual Live Instruction

Attend camp from home

DNALC educator teaching a virtual live camp

We are pleased to continue offering virtual summer camps to make our programs available to remote campers! Six DNALC camps have been adapted for remote instruction. In Virtual Live Instruction Camps:

Students receive a kit containing materials to complete labs at home alongside classmates and instructor. Kits will be available for pick up at a DNALC location or can be shipped. (Kits are not required for BioCoding.)
Students split time between a whole group setting and working in small breakout groups with classmates.
At the end of Fun with DNA, World of Enzymes and Forensic Detectives, parents and guardians are invited to join the class for "Parent Participation" activities.
The DNA Barcoding and Genome Science camps require that DNA samples isolated at home be dropped off or shipped back OVERNIGHT to the DNALC (by USPS/FEDEx/UPS) for processing. The cost of shipping is to be covered by the student and their family.
DNA Barcoding students will need to return samples on Day 1 and Day 2 (Monday and Wednesday) and Genome Science participants will need to return samples on Day 1 only.
Camps are conducted on Zoom. A walk-through of Zoom will be sent in advance of the camp to allow participants to familiarize themselves with the platform.
