Monroe Technology Summer Career Camp
Middle-schoolers from Loudoun County Public Schools discovered emerging fields of technology and practical arts, usually available only to students in their junior and senior years of high school, through participation in the Monroe Technology Summer Career Camp.
The one-week camp program operated June 23-27 on the Monroe Technology Center Campus. In its third year of operation, the Career Camp grew in attendance from 40 campers in its first year to 114 this year.
The Career Camp is an enrichment program sponsored by Loudoun County Public Schools under the direction of the Office of Career and Technical Education. Camp workshops allowed the campers to investigate their areas of interest through hands-on exploration and project-based learning.
Each participant in the camp attended two workshops daily in classes that included culinary arts, greenhouse management, firefighter/emergency medical technician, computer and digital animation, nursing, nail design, auto repair, masonry and more.
The campers ended the week with an awards luncheon and everyone earned a camp certificate.
