Cougar Quest is an academic summer camp for highly capable students on the Washington State University Pullman campus. The camp is designed to meet the educational and social needs of young college-bound students entering grades 7 through 12 in fall 2007.
There are two weeks of camp, one to accommodate 7th through 9th graders and the second for 9th through 12th graders. For one exciting week high achieving students attend three rigorous workshops of their choosing. The workshops are taught by Washington State University professors and are full of hands-on activities that are meant to challenge and keep the interest of students. Students truly get to choose their own route to discovery at camp and have access to workshops such as, Lego Mindstorm Robots, Batty about Bats, Culinary Arts, Alien Quest and many more. Through interactive activities and the use of top of the line technology and techniques, students get to experience an amazing summer of learning. Here, learning is a combination of fun and exploration. For more information, visit Cougar Quest! Cougar Quest is not only about motivating academically inclined students, however. Part of the experience of camp is to explore the WSU campus and see how rewarding college life can be. Social and recreational activities are planned throughout the week. Additionally, students live in a residence hall and eat in a dining center, making for a unique experience. After attending camp many students show an increased interest in pursuing higher education and look forward to next summer when they can continue to learn about topics not usually taught in school. Highly rewarding and exciting, Cougar Quest is the camp for students interested in being challenged while having a good time while learning. |
