Power Up Your Summer! Have you ever wondered how the flip of a switch brings a whole room to life? Stop wondering and start doing! This isn't your average "sit-and-listen" summer camp—this is a high-energy, hands-on dive into the invisible force that powers our world. Real Tools, Real Skills: No plastic toys here! Campers get their hands on professional tools to explore how mechanical and electrical systems work together.

Our Automotive & Heavy Machinery Camp is a hands-on, high-tech experience designed for high schoolers who want to build, fix, and master the machines that move the world. Learn about the basics of automotive maintenance, from oil changes, roadside safety and exploring how hydraulic systems play their part. Dive into the world of diesel technicians! You’ll work with the same professional tools and diagnostic technology used by the pros to solve real-world mechanical puzzles. This isn't your average "sit-and-listen" camp. It's an immersive, hands-on adventure where you’ll gain confidence, learn about industry, and maybe even find your future career. Whether you want to be a master mechanic or a heavy equipment operator, your journey starts here.
