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.

“We want to reassure our community that we anticipate little to no impact on water quality.” That’s the latest update from Greenville Water regarding the Table Rock fire’s impact on its reservoir. According to last night’s update, the SC Forestry commission says the fire nearly doubled in size yesterday (up to 4,556 acres at Table Rock + up to 1,553 acres at Persimmon Ridge).

Coming Soon

“The sound of burning trees and understory echoed like a freight train, torching hundreds of acres nearly instantly.”

Those are the words Naturaland Trust Executive Director + National Geographic contributing photographer Mac Stone wrote about his experience alongside first responders at the Table Rock fire. He’s documenting their around-the-clock work to construct firebreaks and contain the flames.

What is a firebreak? We explained it on our Instagram.

“My goal is for people to know how responders are working full-time,” Stone tells us.

Many of you have asked how you can help those fighting the Table Rock fire. The Upcountry History Museum says it is collecting eye drops, sinus wash solution, batteries + bandanas. Do you know of any other local groups helping? Let us know so we can help spread the word.
