IN-PERSON CAMP


NIHERST's Vacation Camps provide youth with an opportunity for constructive learning of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) content. The goal of this programme is to contribute to the development of the next generation of STEM thought leaders.

We are focused on the key output… Our campers… Our future leaders whose knowledge and skills we will rely on to the develop and improve society.
