Summer camps and teacher institutes are a popular means of introducing young people and their instructors to a
variety of sciences. I have presented entomology-themed summer programs for youth at park district facilities since the 1970s. In 1998, I added a 3-day educators' academy for kindergarten through fifth grade teachers. Publicity, university credit, curriculum, materials, activities and program evaluation will be discussed.
