Dakota Dreams Career Exploration Summer Camps
CALLING SOUTH DAKOTA MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS
Students who will enter the 7th and 8th grade in fall 2023, will have an opportunity to participate in free five-day career exploration camps this summer. Hosted on South Dakota college campuses, these camps will expose students to various career paths through fun, engaging and hands-on learning. Throughout the week, campers will spend time on university and technical college campuses and visit area businesses to see careers in action. By the end of camp, students will have a better understanding of themselves, their career interests and how their education prepares them for professions.
Contact Cara Muckridge for more information!
