Middle school hands-on career camp filling fast
“Hospitality & Tourism” students will practice food safety and preparation in our professional kitchen.
MUSKEGON: Middle school students have only a few weeks left to enroll in this summer’s Career Camp hosted by the Muskegon Area Career Tech Center. During Career Camp, seventh and eighth-grade students can explore a different career field each day in a fun, hands-on, professional environment.
This year’s class lineup includes auto collision repair, construction, computer-aided design, criminal justice, computer-coding, electronics, graphic design, culinary arts, veterinary science, and welding. Interested students can select four classes to explore, a different class each day, June 17-20, 2019, from 8:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Tuition for the week is $60 and includes a catered lunch.
“Last year’s Career Camp was a big hit with students when we piloted a new format where students attended a different class every day,” said MACTC Student Outreach Specialist, Stephanie Hoekenga. “One day a student could be building a bench in Building for Beginners, and the next they were learning how to show a rabbit at the county fair in Animal Planet.”
