The camp at SUNY/College at Old Westbury extends the summer program, established six years ago, for minority high school students to fifty African-American and Hispanic middle school students (grades seven through nine) and admits them to the Science Training and Education Program (STEP). Activities in the four-week summer camp include intensive instruction in mathematics, communication skills, and computer science and analytical skills usable in developing research oriented science projects. Students ar exposed to career exploration activities such as science projects. Students are exposed to career exploration activities such as field trips to industries, government laboratories and college research labs complete with pre-tour briefing, post- tour evaluations and informal meetings with scientists, along with mentoring by college role models. Group workshop strategies for reinforced learning, motivation through team competitions, a supportive climate, experienced staff and carefully chosen courses tailored to students' needs are the key elements of this SSC. Programs which assist students in developing positive attitudes towards SEM careers, increase their academic confidence and encourage parent participation in education are incorporated.

位于老韦斯特伯里的纽约州立大学/学院的夏令营将六年前为少数族裔高中生设立的暑期计划扩大到50名非裔美国人和西班牙裔中学生(七年级到九年级)，并允许他们参加科学培训和教育计划(STEP)。为期四周的夏令营活动包括数学、沟通技能、计算机科学和分析技能的强化教学，这些技能可用于开发以研究为导向的科学项目。学生们可以接触到科学项目等职业探索活动。学生们可以接触到职业探索活动，比如到行业、政府实验室和大学研究实验室的实地考察，包括参观前的简报、参观后的评估和与科学家的非正式会议，以及大学榜样的指导。强化学习的小组工作坊策略、团队比赛的动力、支持性的氛围、经验丰富的员工以及根据学生需求精心选择的课程是这项SSC的关键要素。课程内容包括：帮助学生培养积极的学习态度，增强他们的学业自信，鼓励家长参与教育。
