Finding Your Roots: A Genetics and Genealogy Experience 

What is more interesting than you? In this program, students will use science to answer the question “Who am I?” Students will extract and analyze their own DNA, learn about human evolution, and dig into the stories of their ancestors.

Participants will need parental/guardian permission to submit a DNA sample in April in order to be enrolled in the program. The program is limited to 24 students on a first-come, first-served basis. Upon enrolling, you will be notified within 5 business days of registration confirmation. You must be able to attend all 4 days of this program, partial attendance will not be accepted. Please note that, due to the expenses associated with this camp, a deposit of $100 is required. If the participant attends all four days in their entirety, the deposit will be refunded. If you need information on how to apply for a scholarship, please reach out to sanfordoutreach@sanfordhealth.org.
