High School Summer Camp

Come see how your math and science talents can pave the way for a rewarding career in engineering.

Experience:

Explore engineering

You’ll learn what engineers really do and the tools they use in our weeklong summer camps. Our camps will introduce you to engineering’s various disciplines through hands-on activities and team design competitions while you make new friends and enjoy a taste of campus life.

Recognizing success

We will recognize winning design projects and individual student performances during an award ceremony on the last day of camp. Invite your parents to attend the design project testing and awards ceremony to cheer you on.

Dates & Location

Three six-day sessions on the University of Missouri campus: July 6-11, July 13-18 and July 20-25, 2008. Program fee is $400.

Registration will run from 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on the first day of camp, which will be a Sunday.

We invite parents and family members to join the campers and staff and faculty members for that Sunday’s dinner. The camps will end at noon six days later, on a Friday.
