Ask the Meteorologists
MIKE MOSS SAYS: Lisa, I can't think of a weather camp as such, but you might be able to arrange a tour of the National Weather Service Office in Raleigh (see their site at http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/rah/ where you will find both a "virtual tour" and a tour request link toward the bottom left of the page), and as far as our station there is a tour request link under the FAQ section of the "WRAL" area of the web site.
Otherwise, there are dozens of great weather-related web sites. Some of the more general that focus on education and a nice overview of the field include
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream//
and
http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/home.rxml
Some good information on meteorology as a career is available through the American Meteorological Society at
http://www.ametsoc.org/AtmosCareers/index.html
Finally, a visit to the library should turn up any number of good general interest meteorology books. Good luck!
