About this camp

Tornadoes, floods, and storms, oh my! Get ready to explore the wild world of weather, climate, and the disasters they can create.

Explore how hazards like tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, and severe storms form and take shape. Discover how meteorologists track storms and weather systems, how they predict how communities will be impacted, and provide life-saving information that allows the public to prepare for them. We’ll conduct simple experiments and practice emergency planning, as we examine the science connecting weather events to climate patterns.

From storm science to disaster readiness, this camp is perfect for curious minds who get excited watching storm footage, ask questions about extreme weather, or wonder how communities recover from disasters.
