Reflection on Camps

Day Camps:

This summer, C2 Pipeline hosted a record number of day camp offerings - serving more than 600 high school students in the Metro - Detroit area. These interactive camps centered on STEM learning. Subjects ranged from video game creation to STEAM theatre, photography, filmaking to civil engineering and robotics. Participants in these camps experienced once in a lifetime opportunities and learned from masters in the field. Some of the highlights of camp took place during our Cardboard Boat Competition, when students designed and built a life-sized vessel using only cardboard and duct tape. Our brave students successfully engineered a watercraft and sailed their creation in the Mattaei pool. Students from our Aerospace engineering camp ventured to the Detroit City Airport and co-piloted a real airplane.

Warriors College Experience:

Warriors College Experience is an 11-day residential camp designed to expose high school students to a variety of STEM careers, push their boundaries and give them a taste of college life. This year, C2 Pipeline recieved a record number of applicants. Students attended classes taught by Wayne State faculty, lived the dorm life, participated in community service projects, went on field trips and some walked away from the experience with a scholarship to WSU. All the staff want to thank our wonderful partners and students for making Warriors College Experience 2018 one of the most successful residential camps to date!

Past EventsD Bar A

On August 20, C2 Pipeline staff members ventured to D Bar A Scout Ranch to partake in team building exercises and gear up for the year ahead. This provided a wonderful opportunity for staff to get to know each other better and develop a cohesive group dynamic! Staff attendees participated in Archery and Low Cope activities. Site Coordinators and admin staff left feeling refreshed and ready to organize amazing afterschool programming for all of our students!
