Get ready for a week of exploration! Our Career Adventures Camp invites students ages 6-15 to dive into an exciting variety of real-world professions. Each day, campers step into the shoes of different experts - discovering what they do, the tools they use, and the skills they need. From doctors and engineers to artists, chefs, and emergency responders, campers get a fun, age-appropriate look at the working world while participating in hands-on activities, creative challenges, role-playing, and teamwork.
