A Look Back on The EcoLogik Summer Experience
The EcoLogik Institute hosts two free summer camps annually for female and non-binary-identifying youth ages 10-15. During these camps, our campers and apprentices get hands-on experience and mentorship in a wide range of STEAM subjects ranging from Herpetology to Science Communication. Ecologikโs goal is to inspire, mentor, and train the next generation of scientists and conservationists.

Under the mentorship of Earyn McGhee from the Los Angeles Zoo, Gabriel Santos from Cosplay for Science, and EcoLogik Executive Director Sam Wynns, we toiled for many moons to craft the story of the Dungeons & Dragons BioBlitz.
