After lunch and career exploration, kids will go to a second camp or continue on with their first chosen camp. Some of the camps are 1/2 days and include 2 mini camps, the engineering camp is 3 full days, and some camps are a full day i.e., Building Design and Construction, Cosmetology and Culinary Arts. The camps are taught by Northern’s faculty and the Flying Moose staff in the case of the Bike Camp.
