What is a typical day at science camp like? Here is a sample:
7:00 am: Wake up shortly after sunrise, go outside and spend a few minutes enjoying the sunshine. 
7:30 am: Off to breakfast – short five minute walk to the ‘Plantation House’ – banana pancakes on the veranda – yum!
8:30 am: Back to the cottage for clean up and to pack for today’s filed trip, Kilauea Volcano.
9:30 am: Gather at the vans, pile in – here we go!
10:00 am: Arrive at the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. The resident geologist gives us a presentation about the facility and its history and talks about what they do at the observatory, including what they do when the volcano does something spectacular. On to the Jaggar Museum to spend some time at the lookout over Kilauea Caldera.
Noon: After eating lunch in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, we are walking through Thurston Lava Tube, learning how important lava tubes are to a Hawaiian-type volcano. Amazing to walk through one!
2:00 pm: Hiking the Ka’u Desert Trail. What a weird place. Saw footprints more than 200 years old preserved in ash.
4:00 pm: Back at camp. This is rec hour. One of the counselors is really good at photography and today she’s taking a group of us out on a photography walk.
5:30 pm: Kitchen Duty today, so I’m at the Plantation House early.
7:30 pm: Showing a film about Kilauea eruptions between 1955 and 1960. Those old guys took some chances!
8:00 pm: Surprise trip up to Kilauea volcano. Standing at the lookout watching the glow coming from Halema’uma’u Crater. Awesome! And the night sky is incredible.
10:00 pm: Lights out!

Just found your teen science camp online! We live in Hilo and would love my son to see these familiar places with a fresh and exciting perspective. Looking to inspire him in as many ways as I can 🙂 What is your typical student like? And how is the food?
Hard to say what is typical! You are right though that the camp will give your son some new insight on his home island. The food is going to be great! Meals are cooked fresh daily (plus a box lunch) and most of the food will come from within 5 miles of our home base in Pahala.
