The camp is for students entering first through sixth grades and will run July 29 through Aug. 2.

Each day will be dedicated to a variety of STEM fields, including archaeology, food science, robotics and engineering, paleontology, poultry science and soil science.

Cost is $175. Campers can choose either a morning or afternoon session. The morning session will be 8-11:30 a.m., and the afternoon camp will be from 1:30-5 p.m. Students will be involved in hands-on STEM lessons during each 3.5-hour camp day.

Several university facilities will be used for the camp, depending on the topic, including UA Food Science, Engineering, Poultry Science, the U of A Museum and the Arkansas Archeology Survey building.
