OREGON CITY – Clackamas County students entering ninth-12th grade can earn college credits while having fun in one of Clackamas Community College’s free, hands-on summer camps!
Choose from one of four career and technical education summer camps:
- Horticulture: This hands-on class will teach students how to prepare and use common kitchen herbs in a variety of edible forms. (Clackamas Community College, Oregon City campus)
- Industrial technology: Experience different trades and technology, such as auto body repair, manufacturing, welding and wildland fire. (Clackamas Community College, Oregon City campus)
- Health sciences: Learn about health care careers, ethical and legal responsibility and infection control. (Clackamas Community College, Oregon City campus)
- Invention: Discover the art of invention through hands-on activities using laser cutters and 3D printers. (Sabin-Schellenberg Professional Technical Center, Milwaukie)
“High school students will get a taste of college and be able to explore some of CCC’s programs, without having to pay the tuition typically associated with college credits,” Jaime Clarke, CCC director of education partnerships, said.
Camps will be held June 18-22, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Lunch will be provided and transportation assistance is available.
Each camp has limited space and will use a weighted lottery for placement. Priority placement will be given to historically underrepresented students (students of color, students with disabilities, students with low socio-economic status and students with limited access to accelerated college credit courses).
