UW-Stout faculty and teaching assistants will instruct during tracks and Stout faculty, staff, and a head counselor will assist or lead the activities. Two camp staff will be on all video conferences or the sessions will be recorded to ensure camper safety.
Camp instructors and staff have designed specific tracks and activities for campers to focus on throughout their week:
Campers should expect an intense but fun week of programming, both in and out of the classroom. Campers will feature their completed work at the online showcase the following week.
Camp activities will include but are not limited to video and board games, resume help, campus and lab tours, and a college student panel.
The camp reserves the right, upon notification of parents/legal guardians, to dismiss any camper during any session for improper conduct, language, dress, or attitude which, in the judgment of the Summer and Junior STEAM Experience administrative and counseling staff, is detrimental to the well-being of other campers or smooth operation of the camp.
