The high school’s summer program, formerly known as “Summer Camps at Tri-County”, underwent a rebranding this winter and is now known as “Tri-County Summer STEAM Camp”. School administrators felt adding the word STEAM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics, would better encompass the true nature of the program offerings.
“Tri-County Camps are unique because each one was developed by experts in the industry and aligns with required skills for entry-level employment in each of the industries represented. Campers will work in laboratories that closely mimic the real world workplace and will perform tasks that are not only challenging, but fun,” explained Jean George, Director of Vocational Education at Tri-County.

Tri-County’s licensed teachers use their industry expertise to teach campers about everything from Engineering Technology to Cosmetology. During the week-long camps, students will learn how to program a video game, build like an engineer, or cook like a chef. These creative activities allow campers to hone valuable STEAM skills during the summer months.
“STEAM Camp at Tri-County will get kids excited about learning in an environment that doesn’t feel like ‘school’,” said Jean George. “Summer is the best time to delve deeper into something that truly interests each student, and our camps will not disappoint!”
Several of Tri-County’s most popular camps, including Minecraft Camp and Engineering Camp, will make a comeback this year. New offerings include Cyber Camp and Kerbal Space Program Camp. Full camp descriptions are available on the high school’s website.
Camps will be offered in five, one-week sessions beginning on July 18 and ending on August 19. The cost of each camp will be $210. Enrollment in each program is limited to students entering grades 6, 7, and 8 in September 2016. Students living in the Tri-County District are given preference for enrollment. Early registration is highly recommended as the camps are expected to fill up. All programs are subject to adequate enrollment.
A completed registration form and payment in full must be received in order to be registered. To learn more or to register, please visit www.tri-county.us
