Camp MSS Registration

Camp MSS will be held September 26–29, 2019 at the Asilomar Resort and Retreat Center. Join us for a fun-filled adventure in science learning! This year, we're changing up the format just a bit based on feedback. Friday and Saturday campers will engage in a 2-day Next Generation Science Implementation (NGSI) course and then spend Sunday working in focus groups that allow for more conversation and connection around topics of interest. Download our Camp MSS 2019 Information Flier for more information.
