School to Skies / School to Seas Teachers Camp
Put yourself in the shoes of your students by joining us for a week-long camp with other like-minded educators. We'll show you how Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) apply to real-world problems so you can bring this information and enthusiasm back to your classrooms.
As an educator, you’re the role model who inspires and encourages your students to dream big.
