DNA Learning Center Science Camps

Overview

The DNA Learning Center is the world's first science center devoted entirely to genetics education. We offer fun and challenging camps for science enthusiasts entering 6th–12th grades at several locations in the New York metro area. Guided by experienced instructors, students use sophisticated laboratory and computer equipment to perform experiments several grade levels ahead of their peers.

We welcome students to join the fun while engaging in a high-level scientific lab experience at academic summer camps. For more details, be sure to review our Camp Info.

In-person summer programs at our facilities in Brooklyn, Sleepy Hollow, and Cold Spring Harbor, New York and Wayne, New Jersey 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.

Our On-Demand Virtual Camps use pre-recorded daily lessons and materials so students can complete the curriculum at their own pace. These video recorded 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 receive kits that contain needed lab materials, camp-specific workbooks, and learning protocols. Students also have access to a DNALC educator so they can share their lab results, ask questions, or troubleshoot labs.
