South Dakota middle school students will have an opportunity to participate in free, five-day career exploration camps this summer. Hosted on three South Dakota college campuses, the Dakota Dreams Career Exploration Summer Camps will allow incoming 7th and 8th grade students to experience at least 10 different career paths.
The deadline to apply is Sunday (May 1, 2022).
Secretary of Education Tiffany Sanderson says participating students will be immersed in engaging, hands-on learning. Throughout the week, they’ll spend time on university and technical college campuses and visit area businesses and industry. By week’s end, campers will have a better understanding of themselves, their career interests and how their K-12 education prepares them for professions.
In the summer of 2022, three camps will be offered.
-
June 26-30, 2022– Black Hills State University in Spearfish, partnering with South Dakota Mines and Western Dakota Technical College
-
June 26-30, 2022– University of South Dakota in Vermillion, partnering with Southeast Technical College
-
July 24-28, 2022– South Dakota State University in Brookings, partnering with Lake Area Technical College
Each camp will accept 50 participants. If availability is limited at a particular site, preference will be given to students with need. Students will be notified of acceptance via email the week of May 16, 2022.
