WCA 2-Day Summer Lab Intensives

Registration Is OPEN!

​

2-Day Lab Intensives: Students will complete a full year of labs in two intense days. All lab supplies, lab manual, and two days of in-person instruction are included in the fee for the lab intensive. These lab intensives are high school-level labs, and are open to any student able to complete high school level work. 

 

Students DO NOT need to have completed the book work for the lab they are interested in completing.  Labs will be explained and basic information will be covered so students will understand what they are working on.    

​

What is provided to students: Each student will receive a lab manual, safety glasses, and all the supplies and specimens needed for the labs.

​

In addition, students will be able to log into a Canvas "class" starting August 1st 2025 until May 31st 2026.  There will be various resources and other materials located in this group.  In addition, it will allow the student to reach out directly to the instructor with any questions throughout the 2025/2026 school year.   

 

At the end of the intensive, students will have a full lab manual to show for their hard work and will have earned a full year of lab credit.
