Summer camp has brought something new and exciting every day! From learning to creating, our campers have been busy. One more day to go! Wednesday Highlights: 🌿 In Horticulture, campers learned how to care for plants and what they need to grow. They also had fun decorating pots with movie themes and planting their own flowers to take home! 🍽️ Culinary Arts was all about food and fun! Campers played food-themed games, snacked on popcorn, and made dirt pudding desserts while learning their way around the kitchen.

🍿 Day 2 of Pioneer’s Summer Camp was a success! A big thank-you to visitors from Richland County Foundation for stopping by to see our campers in action and for your continued support! Tuesday Highlights: In Graphic Arts, campers made movie-inspired mugs and custom buttons and got to see the lab where their camp shirts were printed. In Carpentry, students had fun creating string art projects while learning how to use tools safely and work carefully. It was a great day at camp! We can’t wait to see you tomorrow! #PioneerSummerCamp #LightsCameraAction #FutureStartsHere

🎬 Lights, Camera, Action — Summer Camp is Rolling! Today was the first day of our Hollywood-themed Pioneer Summer Camp! 🌟 We're excited to welcome students from all 14 partner schools for a week of creativity, exploration, and fun! Monday Highlight: In Auto Technology, campers assembled a propeller-powered vehicle and tested it through stations that included wind, ramps, and turns — a fast-paced activity that had everyone engaged! Over in Health Care, students learned essential first aid skills and even created their own first aid kits to take home. They had fun while learning helpful skills they can use in everyday life! 🎞️ Stay tuned all week as we spotlight more scenes from this action-packed summer camp! #PioneerSummerCamp #LightsCameraAction #FutureStartsHere
