Register for the 2025 Camp
What is STREAM Camp?
STREAM Camp is a two-week program, sponsored by Marietta College Education Department, designed to assist students in the development of improved reading abilities, oral and written communication skills, and positive attitudes toward reading.
Students will also receive instruction in science, engineering/technology, art, and mathematics. Children’s literature and hands-on experiences are used as the primary instructional tools. Camp is held on the Marietta College campus, where students work in small groups with future teachers (Marietta College students) and current teachers.
When it is STREAM Camp?
Camp meets daily from Monday, June 9th through Friday, June 20th from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 pm. For districts with an extended school year, students are welcome to join on Day 2 of camp!
* Upon your child’s admission to the program, you will be contacted with detailed information regarding drop-off, pick-up, and lunch information.
