C.W. Post Announces Unique Summer Camp Experience
for High School Juniors and Seniors

Science and Spirituality in the 21^st Century

February 24, 2005 — Brookville, N.Y. — This summer, high school juniors and seniors can balance sun and surf with a unique camp experience that explores Science and Spirituality in the 21^st Century. Eligible high school juniors and seniors have the chance to earn three Long Island University college credits when they participate in this three-week immersion course offered by the Honors Program of the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University. Classes meet Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., from July 11 through July 28, 2005.

"Inquisitive high school students will be intrigued by what this camp offers," said Dr. Joan Digby, director of the C.W. Post Honors Program. "They will study with top professors and learn what college life is really like from student mentors. What truly sets this camp apart from other camp experiences is the attention we give to the spiritual elements, especially as they apply to students. And while we explore spirituality, we will also take an in-depth look at the relationship between energy levels, foods we eat, and physical activity."

Participants in the camp will be exposed to topics as varied as physics, science fiction, ethnic dancing and meditation. Exciting field trips, including a voyage aboard the historic oyster sloop, Christeen, and hands-on experiments at the DNA Learning Center in Cold Spring Harbor will further enhance this unique summer experience.

Afternoon recreational activities will include swimming, martial arts and yoga in C.W. Post’s state-of-the-art Pratt Recreation Center. Campers will wind down their days with late afternoon sessions about philosophy, theology and creativity in the serenity of the C.W. Post labyrinth.

The Science and Spirituality in the 21^st Century summer program is being offered by the nationally recognized C.W. Post Honors Program and Merit Fellowship. Students in the C.W. Post Honors Program study together in small, discussion-focused classes and seminars, and have the chance to work independently with professors on tutorial and thesis projects.

High school juniors and seniors with an average of 88 or better are encouraged to register. The cost of the three-week camp is $2,500, which includes lunch and afternoon refreshments.

Space is limited. Interested students may contact Dr. Joan Digby, Honors Program Director, by phone at (516) 299-2840 or by e-mail at joan.digby@liu.edu by March 15 to request an application form or to ask questions about the Science and Spirituality in the 21^st Century summer camp.
