Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ (Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ) is excited to welcome students back to campus this summer for its 2025 Summer Camp Series, open to students entering grades 3 through 10. Hosted by Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµâ€™s Continuing Education and the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Makerspace, the camps offer engaging, hands-on learning experiences in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics throughout June and July.
Each camp runs Monday through Thursday and is designed to spark creativity, curiosity and problem-solving. Campers can explore everything from art and film to robotics, drones and culinary creations. Camps are offered in two age groups: grades 3–5 and grades 6–10, with options tailored to each level.
“̹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Summer Camps are truly one of a kind and introduce kids to college life in a fun, meaningful way,â€� said Ginger Ladehoff, continuing education specialist. “From hands-on STEM projects to creative arts, each camp is thoughtfully designed to inspire future careers while building confidence and lifelong memories.â€�
“Kids get to spend time with friends, play games and learn what they're curious about,� said Mark McCorkle, Makerspace coordinator. “They often get to take home what they create—like electronics kits or 3D-printed items—and most importantly, they get comfortable in a college setting, which builds confidence for the future.�
All camps are held on the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ campus at 101 College Drive in Hot Springs and are priced at $115 per student. Enrollment is limited, and many camps—such as culinary, drones and Minecraft coding—are filling quickly.
