Summer Camp Opportunities for Middle School Students
Tolles Pathways Camp - Grades 6-8
http://www.tollestech.com/tolles-announces-pathways-camp-for-middle-school-students/
Tolles Career & Technical Center will host its annual Pathways Camp, a personalized summer workshop experience for students in grades 6-8, from June 5-8, 2017. The camp will allow students in middle school to learn from Tolles instructors during half-day or full-day sessions in various career fields, including computers, cosmetology, engineering, healthcare, environmental science and nature, animals, automotive, fashion and art, and culinary arts. Cost is $15 per session and all campers receive a Pathways Camp t-shirt.

“The camp is set up so students and their parents can pick which pathways they are most interested, and it also gives them the freedom to choose how many sessions and days they wish to be involved at camp,” offered Beth Fogelsong, camp coordinator. “All sessions are taught by Tolles instructors and are open to students within our district, which includes Dublin, Fairbanks, Hilliard, Jefferson Local, Jonathan Alder, London and Madison-Plains."

About Young Women's Student InstituteYoung Women's Summer Institute

Young Women’s Summer Institute (YWSI) is a week-long program sponsored by Ohio Supercomputer Center for middle-school girls in Ohio.
