Middle School Composition Camp
This camp is designed to give middle school students
insights into both traditional and more recent methods of
music composition. In our exploration we will examine
ways in which composers have worked both within a
purely tonal musical setting but, depending upon the
experience of the students, we are likely also to examine
more modern methods of composing that include using
whole-tone, pentatonic, quartal, quintal and 12-tone
techniques.

and legal aspects of sustainability. The Experiential
Classroom will offer participants hands-on opportunities
to explore scientific concepts underlying current issues
of sustainability. Through Living Labs, participants will
explore local businesses and organizations incorporating
principles of sustainability. Small Group sessions
will facilitate a platform for participants to research a
community sustainability need, test ideas, and develop
an action plans. In addition to interactive learning,
LENS offers a variety of fun activities to introduce you
to the social life of college.
LENS accepts and reviews applications on a rolling

Science Explorations for Girls
This educational and fascinating camp gives girls the
opportunity to explore multiple aspects of science while
experiencing life on a college campus. Campers will
learn anatomy and physiology by engaging in mammalian eye dissections and owl pellet investigations;
discover important aspects of genetics through a human
traits and heredity lab experience; and learn how science
and technology have advanced research by participating
in hands-on, inquiry-based experiments each day. In our
forensics unit, campers will learn about solving a murder
using DNA fingerprinting and blood typing; in earth science, they will build a biome. The camp will conclude
with student presentations for families and friends.
