This spring we are open to the public, but groups must make reservations and everyone must follow the UC Davis visitor guidelines: https://campusready.ucdavis.edu/visitors. The museum's "visiting us" page will have more information.

(OPEN) BBC 2.0 for grades 10-12 will be held July 31- August 6 (Fees $895)* *Need-based scholarships will be available for both camps. Important InformationGeneral COVID-19 Regulations (from the Youth Programs website) Our operation plan was created by consulting the California Department of Public Health Guidance related to Cohorts, Day Camps, and Youth Sports from California Department of Public Health and CAL OSHA, guidelines of American Camp Association. General guidelines are as follows:
Bio Boot Camp Application Process We want to provide opportunities to as many people as possible, but there are many constraints that we have no control over. We regret that we have wait lists, but we don't want to compromise the quality of the camps. We do take into consideration whether a camper has previously applied to the camp and been wait listed as it shows a strong desire to attend the camp. We also take into consideration the grade of the camper. Applications typically come from all over California, but also across the US and the world. March 21, 2022 Applications and Letter of Recommendation are due by 11:00 p.m. (If letters of recommendation need to be submitted the following week, due to spring vacations, that is acceptable.) Extended for BBC 2.0 until filled. April 4, 2022 Notification of a spot in a camp or waitlist will happen on or before this date. April 18, 2022 Last day to apply for a needs-based scholarship. The final step in the registration process will be signing up for the camp via the UC Davis Youth Programs Summer Camp website using special codes. Only selected Bio Boot Campers with authorized codes will be able to register for this camp. Registration is locked on the Youth Programs website, so that the application process can be slowed down and it can be camper-driven. We truly welcome feedback and suggestions. Campers and their families have influenced the evolution of the camps in countless ways and will continue to do so. Please contact us if you have any questions. Contact Tabatha Yang, Education and Outreach Coordinator for the Bohart Museum of Entomology at UC Davis, at tabyang@ucdavis.edu, if you have any questions. Please use the words "Bio Boot Camp question" in the subject line. 2022 Camp Forms The application due date for BBC 2.0 (grades 10, 11 and 12) has been extended until 11 PM on April 15, 2022.
We may need to talk with student applicants to clarify or verify their answers below. We will do so through the phone number provided for responsible adults. Notices will be given on or before April 4 . Everyone else will be automatically placed on a wait list. We don't want the cost of camps to be a barrier to attending, so with help from the Bohart Museum Society, we offer needs-based scholarships. Typically they are for 50% of the cost of camp, but this can be adjusted on a case-by-case situation. Applying or not-applying for a scholarship has no bearing on the application. Families can apply in advance for a needs-based scholarship, or, if offered a spot in a camp, up to 2 weeks after the initial offer. See the forms below for how to apply. |
