Too old for Maker Camp?

Maker Mentors are students entering 7th-10th grade who love Making and love kids. As model campers they do behind-the-scenes prep work & clean up, offer tips & tricks for younger campers, and demonstrate ROATS - Respect Others And Their Stuff! They can receive a letter of recommendation upon completion.

Maker Camp makes the biggest impact on Mentors as they make the biggest impact on Campers!

Registration Fee is discounted 50% for Maker Mentors.
