EXPLORE GRAND CAMPS

Ron Peterson is a physicist educated at Caltech and the University of Illinois. After a career in research, he rose through eight promotions to lead technology at Honeywell, learning along the way how to make complex scientific ideas understandable.

For thirteen years, he brought that same skill and curiosity to weeklong Grand Camps with his six grandchildren—exploring subjects ranging from science and engineering to filmmaking, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. Those real-life adventures became the foundation for the three-book Grand Camps series.

The books are part of a larger idea Peterson calls Generational Stewardship: giving older and younger generations meaningful ways to explore, learn, and grow together.
