Join the Adventure! Are you ready to explore Oklahoma forests, streams, ponds, fields, quarries and road cuts in search of birds, frogs, fish, insects, and fossils? What does a paleontologist, ichthyologist or ornithologist do?
Join us as we learn about the different “ologies” during a one-week science field camp. You will use science to investigate the world around us as we learn about Oklahoma and ourselves.

What is Oklahoma Science Adventure?
Twelve Oklahoma middle school students will spend 7 days and nights working outdoors with scientists on field research projects.After excavating fossils and catching pond animals, students will also take night hikes, go canoeing and build lasting friendships.
The week will conclude by working in the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History museum research labs to further study the fossils and specimens that we encountered in the field.
Throughout the program students will document their experiences through written and digital journals, giving them an opportunity to use a variety of technologies to share their experiences and research projects.
This program is fully funded by the Whitten-Newman Foundation and there is no cost to participants.
