Ever thought about switching careers or taking a completely different path? You’re not alone — it’s a question many of us have asked ourselves. And if you’re a parent, you might be thinking about how to help your child explore their options early on. Enter: Greenville Technical College’s summer camps.

These camps offer hands-on learning experiences that give kids in 6th-12th grade a sneak peek into exciting career paths. Options include:

  1. Adventure Tech | Rising 6th-8th graders will explore opportunities in 3D Printing, culinary arts, robotics, and STEM.
  2. Accelerate U | Rising 9th-12th graders will dive into fun, hands-on cooking experiences like “Asian Cuisine Adventures,” “CHI Mystery Basket,” and “Parisian Pastries.”

Pro tip: Studies show that exposing kids to potential careers in middle school helps expand their horizons and gives them more time to find a career they truly love.
