Nature Science Investigators Camps (NSI)

In this 4-day program, 3-night program, the nature science investigators (NSI) will work in teams to answer their own questions about nature and to unlock secrets that have yet to be told.  After good old-fashioned field exploration, NSI agents will have an opportunity to use LabQuest electronic data collectors and other scientific tools to log and analyze their data in their own KOSS Outdoor Investigation Journal.   The forest, wetland, and stream ecosystems offer many unsolved mysteries for the inquiring mind.

The investigator will experience full-inquiry outdoor science aligned to Oregon science standards.  This is a perfect opportunity for students to experience the inquiry process with instructors who are trained in that process and have an extensive knowledge about the natural world!
