What Our Campers are Saying:

“I learned so much and I really liked how there are so many different kinds of engineering that we learn about so we can figure out what we like.
“I liked how all the people were so nice, the counselors were fun, and I loved doing all the hands-on stuff!”
I knew I liked engineering, but I wasn’t sure what type and now I’m looking at and really interested in tissue engineering.”
