From the beginning, Schoolcraft College’s vibrant Kids on Campus program has been current and trendy, delighting kids with unique camp offerings in the arts, acting, cultural immersion, computers, writing, math, science, career-oriented learning opportunities, and traditional academic skills workshops.  Celebrating its 33rd year in 2012, the Kids on Campus program guarantees campers a great summer experience with more new and exciting offerings for children entering the first through twelfth grades in the fall.
Some of this year’s new Kids on Campus offerings include Design Troop Engineering for third and fourth graders who will spend the week-long camp designing and building creative projects by playing, drawing and sharing their ideas and experiencing engineering at work in everyday life; Machine Manufacturing—Leading Edge Technology for sophomores, juniors and seniors who will spend the week in Schoolcraft College’s state-of-the-art manufacturing lab using Computer Aided Design (CAD) manufacturing software and real Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines, to create, design, build and finish products; Sports Science—Move & Learn for high school age students who will take the principles learned in the classroom into the workout room and discover how physical activity incorporates physics, chemistry, biology and exercise physiology.
Many other popular camps will continue to be offered in the areas of robotics, aviation and aerospace, adventures in medicine, crime detection, gaming design, culinary arts, song writing, art and acting, biz kids, cultural immersion, study skills, academic basics in writing, math, and science. For those preparing for college, special sessions on navigating the daunting process of college applications will be offered.
