Who thrives here Ages 14–18

Environmental Toxicology serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in academic, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.

Frequently asked about Environmental Toxicology

What ages does Environmental Toxicology accept?
Environmental Toxicology is open to children ages 14–18. Camps publish their own age cutoffs, and some run mixed-age groups internally; check the registration page for that summer's grouping if your child sits at a boundary.
How much does Environmental Toxicology cost?
Environmental Toxicology publishes $1,600/week for the standard session. Final cost depends on session length, sibling discounts, and whether extended care is added on.
Who runs Environmental Toxicology?
Environmental Toxicology is operated by a university program. The operator type matters for tuition policy (refunds, financial aid eligibility) and for what kind of staff training pipeline the camp uses.
Does Environmental Toxicology provide lunch?
Environmental Toxicology does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.
