From engineering to healthcare, explore where your future can take you.
Get ready for takeoff! Students entering grades 6, 7, and 8 in fall 2026 are invited to join us for a fun-filled, hands-on adventure at College Camp.

College Camp attendees will:
- Explore careers in health, business, trades, engineering, and more.
- Engage in hands-on activities and challenges.
- Have tons of fun getting to know how it feels to be a college student while discovering the skills needed in today’s workforce!
