*New* Long Island Raiders:

Adventure Camp for Grades 4 and Up

New Day Trips & More Fun!!!

Campers are invited to stay one night at the museum for a camp out on the grounds, a night hike, and grilling outdoors. Long Island Raiders is an innovative way to combine a "close-to-home" sleep-away experience and day-tripping. This week-long adventure will exceed the normal camp schedule of 9:30 am - 3:00 pm. So, to keep up pace and get the most out of each day we will be leaving early and arriving back late each day.

All admissions, lunches, dinner for the one- night sleep-over, and transportation is included. The camp week will be filled with outdoor adventures, waterside fun, sports, entertainment and excursions to cool locations. Parents will be notified when campers are on their way back to the Museum for pick-up, and as well as what time to drop-off campers each morning.

Monday, July 22 – Friday, July 26, 2012 (Session 4)
Fee: $700/camper

Assistant Counsler Program

Teenagers ages 14-17 who are interested in learning how to be a counselor at SMLI are welcome to apply for a position in the Science Museum's new Assistant Counselor Program. This training program is designed to help young teens develop communication and leadership skills while working with our younger campers. Guided by SMLI's experienced staff, assistant counselors will help out with classroom tasks, gain experience planning activities for children, and learn the responsibility that comes along with being a role model. Assistant counselors can earn a $50 stipend per week for each successful week "on the job." Weekly evaluations to be reviewed with assistant counselors will provide the feedback you need to have a successful summer and the tools for becoming a future leader. For a packet outlining the Assistant Counselor Program in further detail, all interested parties should contact:
Registrar's office at (516) 627-9400 extension 10 or email info@smli.org.
Pending receipt of reference letter and successful interview, candidates who are hired for the program owe a $300/week fee with the potential to earn back $50/week. A four week (sessions 1-4 or 5-8) committment is necessary.
