Summer is wonderful, but finding activities for your children can sometimes be difficult. UW-Rock County is hoping to help with the camps available to youth. “Our goal is to provide innovative programming for youth, so they can begin to explore career paths at an early age. We are always looking for new camp and course suggestions as well as new instructors to share their passion,” states Regional Director of Continuing Education Jessica Laeseke.
Camps this summer include:
· NEW: Minecraft ages 8 – 14: June 18 – June 22
· NEW: Biomedical Engineering ages 8 – 14: June 18 – June 22
· STEM Overnight Camp entering seventh through ninth grade: June 26 – June 30
· NEW: Engineering Build Challenge ages 8 – 14: July 9 – July 13
· NEW: Mindstorm Robotics ages 8-14: July 9 – July 13
· NEW: LEGO WeDo-Battle Bots ages 8 – 14: August 6 – August 10
· Computer Programming ages 8-14: August 6 – August 10
· College for Kids entering first through ninth grade: August 6 – August 10
With most camps, you have the option of attending all day or attending more than one program for a discounted rate. For College for Kids, students have almost ten different courses to choose from. This year the campus is also fortunate to offer scholarships for students that have completed fifth through eighth grade and qualify for free and reduced lunch. The scholarship covers over fifty percent of the camp cost and are available for all summer camps, including the overnight STEM camp. Students must have the district verify that they qualify for free/reduced lunch and submit a paragraph about their future career goals.
