This summer camp offered by the Drexel University College of Medicine is specially designed for high school students with an interest in neuroscience. It's open to both sophomores and juniors. It has a particular focus on neurophysiology, molecular neurobiology, and neuroanatomy.

There's no better place to learn all about neuroscience and medicine than with this award-winning faculty. Led by the directors, graduate students are involved in instruction, and attendees even receive a certificate upon completion.

This Drexel University College of Medicine summer program includes live brain activity recordings and a hands-on lab-based project incorporating neuroscience techniques. Project presentation and literature searching are also covered.

The lecture program includes topics ranging from brain anatomy and brain-machine interfacing to cellular neuroscience, electrophysiology, and sensory processing.

Camp takes place in July, and as competition for places is very high, early application is advised. The tuition cost is $2200, and delivery takes place at Philadelphia's Queen Lane Campus. Note that this is not a residential camp but is delivered daily between 10 am and 4 pm with lunch supplied.
