Discover Weather & Climate Science

Come and find out how scientists observe and forecast the weather as well as monitor the changing climate. During the week, campers will use instruments to make their own weather observations; learn how to forecast the weather; visit with National Weather Service forecasters; learn about the local weather and climate of Nebraska from tornadoes to blizzards; explore how drones are used in research; and, learn about storm preparedness. We will conduct experiments throughout the week inside the classroom as well as outdoors to demonstrate basic weather and climate processes. We will also explore weather and storm photography. Participants will get to meet actual scientists and learn more about weather and climate related careers. Spend the week with other students who enjoy weather and science just like you!
