The next 8 days will be a little quieter on CauseScience because one contributor is still on vacation in Turkey (lucky!), and the other is heading up to Vermont to volunteer at Camp Ta-Kum-Ta. Have no fear, we will return to make sure you get all the interesting science, science advocacy updates, and scientific explanation you are used to!

Camp Ta-Kum-Ta is an amazing camp in Vermont for children who have, or had, pediatric cancer. Check out the camp’s website here. Especially if you know any children that are eligible, want to support this amazing place, or are interested in volunteering!

Camp Ta-Kum-Ta provides challenging, extraordinary experiences in a safe and loving environment for children who have or have had cancer and their families. Camp exists for Vermont and Northern New York children,  (including other out-of-state children who are treated in Vermont), between the ages of 7-17, at no cost to their families.
