The Gateway Camp is a project based, hands-on camp that will introduce campers to the fundamentals of science, technology, engineering and math in a fun and exciting way. Campers will learn how engineers have their hands in designing, creating or modifying nearly everything around us from bridges to helping to make life easier for those who have been injured, and even how a nightlight uses a photocell in order to know when to turn on!
