Students and their parents/guardians provide their own lunches and transportation to the camps. If the number of applicants exceeds a camp’s capacity, selection will be guided by educators’ recommendations and each student’s ability to benefit from the experience. Enrollment may be limited to one camp if camps reach capacity.
The Summer Camps are sponsored by the Tech Valley Career Pathways Consortium through funding provided by the federal Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 and the New York State Education Department.
