Come join us for a crash course in materials physics!
Do you find yourself thinking about how the universe works at the fundamental level? Are you curious to develop and apply this knowledge? In the BJU Physics EDUCamp, you will learn to apply the principles of physics to transport in advanced materials. You will gain first-hand experience synthesizing and measuring the properties of advanced materials, and practice how to how to describe your findings on the basis of the underlying physics. In the process, we will discuss the development of scientific models from the standpoint of a Christian worldview.
Camp check-in for all campers is on Sunday between 2–4 p.m. at the Welcome Center.
Day camp drop-off each day will be from 8–8:30 a.m. at the Welcome Center.
When you arrive on campus, follow the signs to the Welcome Center to check-in. Our camp counselors will give you your camp schedule and camp T-shirt. If you have a camp balance, you can take care of it at this time.
Day Camp pick-up each day will be from 4:30–5 p.m. in the Welcome Center. Camps generally end on Friday at noon. Check your specific camp schedule for times of final presentations, performances or concerts that may take place after noon on Friday.
Day campers must live in or stay with family in the immediate Greenville area.
Campers may be required to be on campus from 8:30 a.m.–9 p.m. on camp days.
Check your camp schedule for specific details.
Day campers can also enjoy a fun highlight of our camp experience, the Bruins Bash, on Wednesday from 7–9 p.m.
Lunch and dinner are included in the camp cost.
Phones may be used at certain time during the week of camp depending upon activities.
A modest amount of spending money is suggested for The Den, vending machines and Bruins Shop.

Dr. Nick Gothard holds a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics with over 20 years experience researching electrical and thermal transport in materials. Before coming to BJU, he worked as a Research Scientist at the Air Force Research Laboratory, where he studied thermoelectric materials and materials for quantum technologies. He is active in the American Physical Society and has mentored several student research projects culminating in presentations at regional and national meetings of the American Physical Society.
