June 27, 28, 29, and 30, 2022
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
2022 University COVID-19 policy requires all RISE participants to attest to having received a COVID-19 vaccine, a negative test, or a religious or medical exemption. An attestation form similar to this will be emailed to parents of registered campers in mid-June and will be required to attend camp. Masks will be optional.
The RISE Jr. program will be in-person for 2022. Three-hour sessions on June 27th - June 30th at the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering will encourage 4th and 5th graders to explore engineering through hands-on learning. Students will be introduced to the “Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve” design process and will get a real glimpse of Engineering through projects, demos, and building tours of the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering.

FAQs
What is the difference between RISE JR, RISE MS, and RISE?
Our Rise JR program is for rising 4th and 5th grade students. In this workshop, we primarily focus on introducing engineering with a more elementary-based curriculum. No experience with engineering is necessary! RISE MS is a summer workshop for rising middle school students. In this program, we focus on hands-on learning through engineering projects & demonstrations. No experience with engineering is necessary! Our final program, RISE, is for rising 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th graders. As our most challenging workshop, RISE features laboratory clinics, exciting engineering activities, campus & industry tours, and mentoring by Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering professors and students. RISE participants must apply and be accepted to the program.
Are the programs residential camps?
