SSP is more than science. Participants bring many interests and enjoy many activities, some scheduled, some spontaneous. There are movie nights, pool parties, receptions, card games, board games, hiking, pickup sports, recreational field trips, and of course the Talent Show (bring your musical instrument). Swing dancing and yoga classes are often popular too.
SSP International is a nonprofit offering inspiring science immersion experiences. Founded in 1959, its mission is to provide opportunities to accelerate learning, doing and belonging in science. SSP International’s flagship program is Summer Science Program, a leading education experience for exceptional high school students in astrophysics, biochemistry, genomics and more.
