* * *Sheldon, from the popular series, The Big Bang Theory, says “Bazinga!” following a practical joke. At STEM Camp, we shout it whenever we discover something new, have fun, make a new friend, or accomplish a goal. (It’s also fun to say following a practical joke.) STEM Camp follows some other Big Bang Theory traditions, including playing “Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock," singing “Soft Kitty,” and working out roommate agreements to help campers live together in harmony. Campers may discover their inner “Sheldon,” “Leonard,” or even “Penny” as they explore STEM topics, engage in teambuilding and engineering design activities, perform campfire skits, and have a great time!

Speyside Bourbon Cooperage produces only new bourbon barrels. Other branches of the organization produce used barrels among other products.

All our skill goes into making top quality barrels to meet the requirements and expectations of spirit-makers all over the world. Our goal at Speyside Bourbon Cooperage is to ensure that barrels become a modern spirit-making instrument by combining age-old craftsmanship and state of the art techniques and equipment developed by our research and development department. Coopering is a craft and will always be so; however, by incorporating new ideas with existing methods we are now able to build a barrel that is stronger, consistent in size and quality with little variability.

After the in-depth STEM sessions on Tuesday, campers will be transported by an OSU Charter Bus to Speyside in Jackson! Campers will receive a behind the scenes tour from the team of forestry industry experts!

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is one of three national 4-H mission mandates. It’s also where the jobs of the future are! STEM Camp participants will explore a STEM focused in-depth topic and enjoy traditional camp activities with a STEM twist!

WHO? Camp is open to boys and girls completing 5th through 7th grades this spring.

WHEN? Campers will check in between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. on Monday, June 3, and will be ready to tell their parents and families all about their STEM experiences at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 5. Camp will close at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday.

WHAT? Campers will choose two in-depth STEM sessions. In addition, traditional camp activities will be offered with a STEM twist that may include campfires, shooting sports, high ropes, hiking, facility tour and snacks! Camp will also feature Dr. Bob. (OSU’s very own science guy!)

BRING: Campers should bring all the usual camp supplies – bedding, towels, toiletries, clothes and shoes for the outdoors, a swimsuit, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a flashlight.

NEXT STEPS: Campers will receive confirmation of acceptance and additional forms to complete and return soon after the May 1 registration deadline.
