What is nineovations?

Central Nine’s summer camp, Nineovations, offers two different camp experiences for this summer! Each camp will be hosted by Central Nine Instructors, with help from students currently enrolled in their programs, allowing campers to gain a real-world perspective on the benefits of higher education and training.

Camp Explore allows campers who will be in 7th-9th grade in the fall to venture through six different popular career pathways. Campers will tour two careers daily and complete hands-on projects at each stop.

Camp Soar, on the other hand, is for campers who will be in 9th and 10th grade in the fall. Camp Soar will take an in-depth look into the various Aviation career opportunities, have a field trip to VU’s Aviation Technology Center, and allow campers a chance to win a discovery flight!
