Elementary and middle school students interested in science, nature and hands-on discovery can dive into the exciting world of biology this summer at BIO Camp at Oakland University.<\/p>\n
Designed for students in grades 4-8, BIO Camp gives participants the opportunity to experience a day in the life of a biologist through engaging lab experiments, field research and interactive learning experiences across Oakland University\u2019s campus.<\/p>\n
Campers will explore a variety of biological science topics, including genetics, microbiology, ecology and environmental biology, while participating in projects that incorporate STEAM education \u2014 integrating science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.<\/p>\n
Throughout the week, students will conduct hands-on lab and field research projects, collaborate with peers through team-building activities, and engage in project-based learning designed to inspire curiosity and scientific thinking.<\/p>\n
Participants will also have the opportunity to explore several unique areas of Oakland University\u2019s campus, including research laboratories, the OU Biological Preserve and the Campus Student Organic Farm.<\/p>\n
BIO Camp will be offered during two sessions in July 2026:<\/p>\n
