Camp GEMS - Girls in Engineering, Math and Science

Camp GEMS is an engineering, mathematics and science, residential camp designed to develop interest, excitement and self-confidence in young women entering the 7th or 8th grade in the fall 2013. The camp is held on the campus of Ohio Northern University for up to 72 young women. It features hands-on activities in math, science and engineering. A class ratio of 12 students per teacher is emphasized to encourage maximum interaction and instruction. The camp is designed for the all-around student, not just those who excel academically. There are also many all-camp activities such as scavenger hunts, swimming, volleyball, tennis and crafts.

Instruction is provided by ONU faculty members and counselors are ONU female college students majoring in engineering, pharmacy, math or science.
