About
SAGE Camp at SLAC is a one-week residential overnight camp that includes career talks, tours, job shadowing, and hands-on projects. During the camp, students work on projects and meet STEM professionals at National Laboratories at various stages of their careers. Students apply online via the Kaleidoscope platform and join the SAGE Community as part of their longer SAGE Journey.
• Ages: 14–18 years old
• Schedule: One-week residential/overnight camp from June 21 to June 27, 2026
• Price: FREE one-week residential/overnight camp
The SAGE Mission is to engage curious and passionate students in STEM and empower them to explore a wide range of possibilities for their future. During SAGE Camp, students gain exposure to a wide range of career possibilities and learn how careers can be enhanced by interests such as art, music, athletics, creative writing, and travel while applying observation, interpretation, and analytic skills. Students join the SAGE Community and learn about the support and guidance that this community can provide as they explore their goals in education, work, and life. Participating in SAGE Camp is described as the starting point of a student’s SAGE Journey, which is supported by post-camp events and programs, internship opportunities in high school and post-secondary education, and leadership development programs.
The SAGE Summer Camp was piloted in August 2018 with 20 participants from the greater San Francisco Bay Area, expanded to 40 students from public high schools throughout Northern California in 2019, and shifted to a virtual format in 2020–2021, when SAGE Kits were shipped to students’ homes to enable hands-on projects. Since 2022, 40 high school students have been hosted every year, and alumni have taken part in post-camp activities such as SAGE Live, online events held approximately monthly, and have started SAGEx School Clubs at some schools. SAGE Camp invites students who need special accommodations to contact the camp upon acceptance, consistent with Stanford University’s Accessibility Policy.
SAGE Camp at SLAC is one of three SAGE Camps at National Labs in the Bay Area and one of seven SAGE Camps at National Labs in the country, working in conjunction with the Department of Energy National Laboratories. It is supported by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the SLAC Lab Director, the Office of High Energy Physics within the Office of Science of the Department of Energy, and many SLAC and Stanford volunteers. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is operated by Stanford University for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. The leadership and coordination team includes SAGE Co-Chairs Nicole Neveu and Natalie Geise; Executive Committee members Scott Kaminski, Maia Coladonato, Hannah Pollek, Analisa Tan, Molly Glover, Nikoo Samee, Chereace Marcellin, Bhavna Nayak, Katyayini Kumar Vemulkar, Rachael Kretsch, Elena McConnell, Diane Kelley, Catherine Weibel, Alysson Loo, Alondra Galindo, Sharon Perez, Cristina Padilla, Grace Nye, and Giulia Lanza; SAGE Co-Founders Giulia Lanza and Diana Gamzina; and SAGE Camp and Journey Program Coordinator roles held by Daniela Partida and Loy Oppus-Moe.
