GE Scientists Teach YWCA Campers

Scientists from GE Water & Process Technologies in Trevose will visit all YWCA Bucks County Summer Camps during the month of July to present GE’s Science in the Classroom program, according to a release. 

Through this program, and with the guidance and direction of the visiting scientists, students at the camps will explore and learn more about science by participating in basic experiments as a means of demonstrating to the youngsters that science is fun and is present all around them. 

In addition to the scientists’ visits to YWCA Summer Camp locations, as part of GE Technology Day, campers will take a field trip to GE Water & Process Technologies on Thursday, August 4, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., to explore the many roles that technology plays in enabling GE to provide water treatment, wastewater treatment and process systems solutions to companies and industries worldwide.

YWCA Summer Camps help underserved youngsters from low-income areas discover and explore their talents, interests, and values.  The camps provide opportunities for constructive activities that encourage children to learn and develop healthy self-images and self-determination. 

YWCA Summer Camps offer children a safe environment where they can have fun, learn academic and life skills, and interact with other children and adults.  Students engage in activities that foster academic enrichment, team-building skills, multicultural awareness, sportsmanship and healthy attitudes.  Camps are offered free or on a modest sliding-scale fee basis based on household income.
