The Longwood University Camp for Environmental Exploration (LUCEE) is being held for the second year, July 10-20, 2017. The camp is a successful partnership between Westmoreland County Public Schools (WCPS) and Longwood’s Hull Springs. Designed for rising 4th and 5th graders, the day camp offers a hands-on learning experience for the WCPS students, with a goal of sparking their interest in science “naturally”. This year’s camp is being led by a May Longwood graduate with a degree in Environmental Science, joined by 6 other LU students volunteering as teachers/counselors. These Camp leaders will be working side-by-side with certified WCPS teachers for the two weeks of activities, which include lesson plans that address SOLs. At least 60 children are expected to attend the Camp.
