Ozark Natural Science Center is pleased to announce that registration is open for our 2025 AEGIS Summer Camp: Project Water & Wilderness
July 20 - August 2, 2025
This FREE camp is for Arkansas students entering 10th, 11th, and 12th grade in the 2025-2026 academic year.
Water & Wilderness: Plugged into Nature will be held at Ozark Natural Science Center (ONSC), an outdoor science education facility located deep in the Ozark Plateau region. Students at Water & Wilderness camp will be able to unplug from electronic distractions and plug into the ever-changing and exciting world of field biology where evolving technology and field science merge.
This incredible opportunity offers students the chance to assist field scientists as they gather data and explore a variety of habitats in the Ozark Natural Division, including beautiful oak-hickory forests, glades, and the amazing free-flowing Kings River. Students will track reptiles using radio-telemetry, learn from ornithologists about how they catch and band birds, monitor bats acoustically, search for fish and other aquatic life in the pools and riffles of the Kings River, examine the night sky, and more as they spend beautiful summer days and star-filled nights among the forest and river life. A capstone glade field study, canoe trip, and an overnight camping experience on the Kings River will be the highlights of this two-week experience.
