The Science Sleuths Summer Program is a two-week integrated enrichment camp from the Partnership for Environmental Education and Rural Health at Texas A&M University for the Summer of 2006. 

The program runs Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. from June 5 to 16 and is open to any student who entering 6^th or 7^th grade.  There are no fees associated with this two-week program.

Students will travel back in time with characters from the Backpack Club by reading an adventure story, glimpsing clues of an illness as the club members travel through archeological dig sites and museums. Students will then work together to identify the mystery illness by using their science, social studies, math and language arts skills. In the process, they will learn valuable information about how to avoid and help prevent this illness from occurring, while reinforcing their skills in all four subject areas through TEKS-based exercises and TAKS-style practice testing.

Subjects covered this year include weather, radioactive half-life, archaeology, disease, graphing and measurement.  The course will be taught by Shawn Martin, PEER Program Coordinator and middle school teacher.  If weather and time permit, a day-long field trip to an actual archaeological dig site may be scheduled.

Again, this year's program runs Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. from June 5 to 16 and is open to any student who was in the 5th or 6th grade in the 2005-06 school year.
