There is still time to register for a number of Washtenaw Community College’s (WCC) STEM youth camps this summer. Week-long camps begin July 7 and continue through August. All camps are hosted on the WCC campus, 4800 E. Huron River Drive, Ann Arbor.

Each camp focuses on a different STEM topic like coding, space, health care and engineering. Camps are geared toward specific age groups from 9-18.

Camps are designed to motivate and inspire future makers, engineers, explorers, technologists and professionals and are led by instructors connected to organizations steeped in the subject matter. For example, the space exploration camp is a collaboration among WCC, Mad Science Detroit and NASA.

Non-STEM camps on essential child care/babysitting skills, theater and arts and zine publishing are also offered.
