On Thursday, June 4 at 6:30 p.m., local parents and prospective campers are invited to enjoy a scoop of Berkey Creamery ice cream while learning about the 15 writing and STEM-related (science, technology, engineering and math) summer camps that will be held at Penn State Lehigh Valley in Center Valley this summer.
“Penn State Lehigh Valley’s lineup of one-week, half-day youth camps run from July 13-17,” a news release about the “Get the Scoop” event said. “Offerings include writing, visual arts, engineering, math, computer programming, video and swimming camps. These camps are geared toward students entering grades 1-12.”
Camps will be offered in the morning (9 a.m. to noon) and the afternoon (1 to 4 p.m.). Penn State Lehigh Valley staff will be on hand if parents need to drop off children early or pick them up late, or need lunchtime supervision.
New to this year’s camp lineup is a Musikfest Video camp for high school students, which will allow campers to go behind the scenes with a veteran TV journalist at Musikfest in Bethlehem–one of the largest music festivals in the nation. The Musikfest Video camp will be held Aug. 3-14 and is limited to eight participants.
Penn State Lehigh Valley is located at 2809 Saucon Valley Road, Center Valley.
Parents and prospective campers who are planning to attend are asked to RSVP to Doug Antonioli at dba117@psu.edu or 610-285-5239.
