Dinosaurs, density and decorating (cakes) await kids at Wright State summer courses

The school year is almost over for the kids, but mom and dad still have to go to work. What to do with the kids this summer? How about Wright State University’s pre-college camps and programs for children and teens?

In the first session alone, the youngest participants might go in depth with dinosaurs, learn the intricacies of icing cakes or become weather wizards. While the youngsters are cutting their teeth on discovery, the teens could be learning to become the next CSI or start their own business.

The Office of Pre-College Programs offers a wide variety of week-long learning opportunities that will begin on June 13, and it’s time to register for summer camps at Wright State University for kindergarten through 12th grade students.

The Discovery/Odyssey programs are designed for K–9 grade students in such fields as: science, mathematics, foreign languages, the arts, the humanities and computer technology.  Classes are planned from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with extended care available. Select courses for the gifted and talented will also be included.

Residential camps and institutes are set for sixth to 12th graders. The participants live on campus for the week-long programs and are supervised by a trained residential staff 24 hours a day. Courses are available in engineering, archaeology, creative writing, law and politics, leadership, mathematics, science, theatre and more.
