Camp for youth entering 6th through 8th grades

This engaging weeklong day camp is hosted by University of Illinois Extension and Bradley University and is designed to spark curiosity and offer a glimpse into the endless career possibilities within STEM fields

This camp is open to all youth entering 6th through 8th grades.

Campers will get hands-on experience exploring STEM professions through engaging site visits to local businesses, including University of Illinois College of Medicine, Farnsworth Group, SKB Cyber, Peoria Innovation, and more! These immersive experiences provide a behind-the-scenes look at cutting-edge industries, allowing campers to interact with STEM professionals, engage in exciting hands-on activities, and discover the skills and technologies shaping the future.

Beyond career exploration, campers will also have the opportunity to connect with like-minded peers, gain confidence in their abilities, and explore a college campus environment—all while having fun!

Teacher Track

We are accepting up to four area teachers for participation in this week-long camp. Teachers would be involved in group facilitation during the camp and would also be asked to reflect on the experience and how he or she could use similar type programming to enhance their classroom experiences.

If selected, teachers would be asked to attend an orientation session, the week-long camp (which includes a workshop session with Bradley faculty), along with two follow-up sessions after the camp experience as they are implementing something they learned from the opportunity.
