Camp Description
The Office of PreCollege Programs offers this one-week camp for rising MS students. The STEM Training for Early Engagement and Readiness (STEER) camp is designed to strengthen student skills in math and science and expose students to careers in math, science, and technology focusing on sustainability.

- Providing classroom instruction in academic areas
- Introducing students to skill-building in technology, math, and science
- Experiencing career options through hands-on activities
- Interacting with college options through hands-on activities
- Developing critical thinking, problem solving, and analytical skills
- Teaching students strategies that will enable them to build on basic life skills in mathematics and science
