[MBL Classifieds]

The Penikese Island School (www.penikese.org<http://www.penikese.org/>) seeks 5 enthusiastic summer staff members for our 2025 Girls Science + Nature Camp season.

The goal of this program is to build the confidence of middle-school girls in the sciences by providing them with role models of women in STEM. Each 5-day/4-night session is focused on STEAM activities and outdoor educational programming for 12 middle school-aged girls (entering 7th and 8th grade). The cornerstone of this experience is the opportunity to engage with female scientists from nearby, world-renowned Woods Hole scientific institutions. Our focus is on science, art, and outdoor education through the lens of a unique island environment and its wildlife. Camp sessions run from July 7 - August 8, on the remote island of Penikese, located 15 miles off Cape Cod. Pre-camp orientation week is June 30 - July 3.
