Summer Discovery Camp Youth Volunteers: Students, ages 16 - 18 (by May 1), have the opportunity to work one-on-one within our summer camp programs relating to medicine, science, robotics and sports. Week-long camps run from June through August, Monday through Friday. Camp hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Each camp requires a youth volunteer to support the needs of our young campers. Volunteers are encouraged to sign up for more than one week of service. Those that have successfully completed the required youth volunteering orientation do not have to fill out another application.
High School youth 16 to 18 are introduced to the museum in the summer months only. To be selected for the team of youth volunteers, teens must fill out an application. Applications are reviewed as they come in and accepted on a rolling admissions basis until the recruitment goals are met.
