To determine the effects of the project on the participants, semi-structured interviews, diaries, Scientific Attitude Scale, “Science Lab Attitude Scale”, and the letters written by the participants at the end of the camp were used. The activities conducted at camp were aimed at enabling students to comprehend basic scientific phenomena in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, and ecology.

The interviews demonstrated that students generally had quite positive views concerning the activities. It was seen that student motivation was satisfactory during the camp period. Based on the data obtained from the Scientific Attitude Scale, it can be said that a statistically significant improvement took place in the attitudes of primary education students participating in summer science camp about science and science lab at the end of the camp in comparison to the pre-camp period. When all evaluations are taken into consideration, it is seen that participants completed camp period with positive cognitive and affective acquisitions.
