Career Technical Education Summer Camps are an excellent way for students to gain hands-on experience in a field they are interested in, to get a tast of college life, and to expand their horizons. All camps are $150, unless stated otherwiese.
Summer programs are a great way for students to explore various major and career interests while gaining skills and experience that are valued by colleges and employers. Many summer programs are offered by colleges, but they can also be available through the government. The programs can range from one week to several weeks.
Please note that per the district, nothing posted here has a price tag (more than a nominal amount). If you are interested in such programs, I recommend beginning your independent search with programs associated with colleges.
