This fall, Teton Science Schools invites 8th–10th grade girls from across the region to step into the role of scientist, leader, and explorer. From October 12–17, 2025, the Young Women & Science program will transform the Kelly Campus into a hub for hands-on learning, field research, and personal growth.
For five days and four nights, students will immerse themselves in the natural wonders of Grand Teton National Park, working alongside experienced educators and scientists. Days are spent in the field conducting ecological research, tracking wildlife, collecting data, and exploring the forces that shape the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Evenings bring community-building activities, expert panels, and opportunities to develop leadership and presentation skills.
Past participants describe the experience as nothing short of life-changing:
“Teton Science Schools taught us how to think critically about our world and build careers as women. We spent the week hiking through the Tetons, identifying flora and fauna, discussing wilderness safety, experiencing land surveyance, and learning the basics of backpacking. This program changed my life because I returned to school feeling inspired, empowered, eager to learn, and driven to return to the Tetons to help people like TSS helped me.”
– Eleanor, Young Women & Science Participant
The program isn’t just about science, it’s about fostering confidence, curiosity, and connection. Students leave with not only new knowledge and skills, but also a supportive network of peers and mentors who share a passion for learning and the outdoors.
