A FREE educational program for Indigenous high-school students interested in health, science, education, and American Indian culture. Throughout the camp, we will learn about various majors offered at UW-Milwaukee by engaging in hands-on activities and build our tool-box for college success.

Students should be entering sophomore year or higher of high school and maintain a 2.5 GPA or higher. We will make exceptions to those guidelines, as space allows. Applications are accepted on a first come, first serve basis due to the limited number of slots of students.

Each day students will…

• Stay in the UWM dorms (room and board provided)
• Meet with camp leaders
• Participate in short classes or activities

This year’s activities may include:

• UW-Milwaukee campus tour
• DNA extraction and typing
• Cruise on the Freshwater Sciences boat
• Visit an Engineering lab
• Water testing and density labs
• Learn about research studies
• Stargaze at the UWM Planetarium
• Tool-box kits for college success
• Baseball game, kayak trip, and/or trip to one of Milwaukee’s museums
• Cultural activities and more!
