In-Person and Virtual Science Camps in New York

The DNALC is the world's first science center devoted entirely to genetics education. We offer fun and challenging camps for science enthusiasts entering 6th12th grades. Guided by experienced instructors, students use sophisticated laboratory and computer equipment to perform experiments several grade levels ahead of their peers.

While our centers closed temporarily to the public in March 2020, the DNALC has continued to offer academic summer camps virtually. Now, we are welcoming back students in-person and virtually to join the fun while engaging in a high-level scientific lab experience. For more details, be sure to review our Camp Info.

In-person summer programs at our new facility in Brooklyn New York include hands-on labs that give learners the opportunity to use modern molecular biology techniques and tools. Students can join camps like Fun with DNA or Genome Science.

Wherever you attend, we have taken necessary precautions to ensure classmates and educators stay safe as we continue offering our in-person camps and courses throughout the summer (See our COVID-19 Safety Net).

Our virtual camps are offered two ways: live instruction, where students attend camp from home alongside a class of students, and On-Demand with pre-recorded daily lessons and materials so students can complete the curriculum at their own pace. These virtual science camps can be taken by middle or high school students anywhere, including outside of the NYC and Long Island areas.

To replicate the same hands-on science and enrichment learning, students attending virtually will also receive kits that contain any needed lab materials, camp-specific workbooks, and learning protocols. Students will also have access to a DNALC educator so they can share their lab results, ask questions, or troubleshoot labs.

Whether students attend an in-person science camp in New York or join virtually, they'll be able to take advantage of benefits such as:

From forensics to DNA barcoding to the world of enzymes, we have a variety of STEM summer camps planned for this summer. During the year, we invite students to learn and immerse themselves in the world of biology and genetics through an on-site visit to our DNA Learning Center or in one of our virtual camps.
