The Minds On! Hands On! Camp is a great opportunity to explore technology you never imagined. The camp is designed for girls that have an interest in hands on careers in the industrial field. This year’s camp will focus on the NIACC Welding and Industrial Maintenance programs. This is a great opportunity to be creative and develop hands on skills that could spark you into a future career.  Quality instruction will be delivered by NIACC staff members. Tours and guest speakers will be arranged so participants can learn about careers in the welding and industrial maintenance programs. Camp activities will be hands on so participants gain an understanding of what work is like in a skilled trades field. Campers will be exposed to all of the NIACC industrial programs:  Welding, Tool & Die, Industrial Systems Technology, Industrial Mechanics and Maintenance, Heating and Air Conditioning Technology, Diesel Technology, Automotive Technology, and Building Trades. Campers will be informed about how they can begin an exciting career using advanced technology to produce amazing products.

The main camp will run daily from 8:30-3:30 on June 20, 21, and 22, 2023.  Once the main camp is completed, campers will have some time to relax, and camp counselors will provide some fun evening activities both nights.

To ensure safety during lab time and tours, campers should have with them a long-sleeved shirt, work jeans, and closed-toe shoes (boots preferred). Wearing shorts or nylon of any sort is not allowed for certain activities. Task appropriate dress is expected at all times. Safety equipment will be provided. Hair will need to be pulled back and safely secured when working in the labs. Due to safety concerns, campers will only be allowed to participate in activities if they are properly dressed for that activity.
