The National Youth Science Camp (NYSCamp) is a free residential honors program for two accomplished high school graduates from each state in the USA, plus Washington, DC. As of 2020, NYSCamp also accepts two delegates to represent Argentina , Bolivia , Brazil , Chile , Costa Rica , Ecuador , Mexico , and Trinidad and Tobago . NYSCamp's curriculum includes a broad range of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics that incorporates both creative and performing arts as well as an outdoor adventure series with opportunities for mountain biking, spelunking, kayaking, and overnight backpacking. The delegation also travels to Washington, D.C. , where they can meet congressional members, tour museums, and in recent years attend a panel discussion held at the American Association for the Advancement of Science . NYSCamp hopes to challenge delegates academically in exciting lectures and hands-on studies, and have voluntary opportunities to participate in an outdoor adventure program, gain a new and deep appreciation for the great outdoors, and establish friendships that last a lifetime. The NYSCamp is offered free of charge for all delegates selected to attend. Applications to apply to the NYSCamp generally open around beginning of November and close around the end of February for the following summer programming.
