COVID Protocol

COVID-19 UPDATE: The status of in-person camps may change at any moment depending upon CDC, State and University guidelines at that time.  Camps would then switch to virtual or be cancelled. Subject to change.

• All camps will be limited to 20 campers. The STEM Lab in Rowan Hall is a large room which will allow us to space out the campers. We will maintain 3 foor social distancing within cohorts and 6 foot social distancing with other while inside. There will be a limit of 3-4 campers per table.
• Masks will be worn inside during instruction. We will provide “mask breaks” for any campers that need some fresh air. We will also provide masks should any campers need them.
• Each day at check-in, campers or their parent/guardian will be required to complete the Rowan University Daily Screening. This will ensure proper contact tracing protocol should a camper test positive for COVID.
• Should a camper test positive, the remainder of the camp will be cancelled.
• Students will have all of their supplies at their table or in kits that they will pick up from a sanitized area to avoid person to person contact.  All students will have their personal set of supplies, materials, computers, etc.  Personalized areas will be assigned for in-work projects that are left overnight and to be completed the following day.
• Camps will be scheduled for the mornings to eliminate food consumption during this year’s camps. Water bottles can be brought and will remain on camper’s tables.
• Rowan University cleaning protocols will be adhered to each night, after campers leave and prior to their return the following day.
• After each camp ends, all camp materials will be cleaned and sanitized.

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?

No. Our summer programs are typically four-day, non-residential camps.

When is RISE JR? 

RISE JR is June 27, 28, 29, and 30, 2020 from 9AM to 12PM.

Will the 2022 Summer Camps be virtual or in-person?

In-person. Our goal is to have on-campus camps this coming summer. Of course, we will strictly follow all COVID-19 procedures and protocols. This all depends on the state of our world, but we anxiously wait and prepare to see our future engineers in person!

How many applicants are you accepting? 

20. The Henry M. College of Engineering plans on accepting about 20 students for each program. 

Where are the summer camps located? 

RISE JR located in The Henry M. College of Engineering. We rotate between Rowan Hall and Engineering Hall to allow students to get the most of what we can offer. 

When do applications open and close? 

Open: Early 2022

Close: June 1st

Confirmation and acceptance emails will shortly follow. 

How much do each of the camps cost? 

$100

We do our best to make each camp affordable and reasonable for all. Cost is calculated on what materials and resources are needed to give each child the most enriching experience. If payment is not received by the due-date, the student’s spot will be opened up to another candidate on the waiting list.
