Camps SARSEF offers two types of summer camp programming. SARSEF Summer STEM Camps where 4th-8th grade students attend sites across Tucson to explore STEM through hands-on activities. These camps are a pay-what-you-can model, with each week centering around a different theme from topics as broad as STEM exploration to more specific subjects like desert ecology! 157 students were served in FY 24-25. Applied Career Exploration in STEM (ACES) Camp for Girls is a week-long no-cost summer camp for middle school girls. In July 2024, ACES Camp served 45 students from Sunnyside School District.
