Michael Richards - Science Camps of America

Michael Richards is the Founder and Executive Director of Science Camps of America (A Non-Profit organization). This first ever educational Science Camp is located in Hawaii. Science Camps of America was founded to provide teens with the opportunity to immerse themselves in fun, hands-on science education in a summer-camp setting and at the same time enrich them with educational experiences not found in the traditional classroom setting, allowing students to become more active in S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education. Science Camps of America also provides scholarships and financial aid for young adults in their communities.

High School students explore the volcanoes, rocks, forests, ocean and skies of the Big Island of Hawaii. In what has been called "nature's greatest laboratory", they see science come to life as they experience geology, oceanography, ecology, climate, and astronomy, "up close and personal". Practicing scientists will share their stories and show them the latest gear they use to further their work. They gain an understanding of our world that will surely have a life-long affect.
