SPOKANE, Wash. – A summer camp hosted by Washington 4-H and the U.S. Air Force will help Washington teens from air service families fuel their minds for college success.
At the “Fuel Your Future College Prep Camp,” Tuesday-Friday, July 18-21, at Cheney, Wash., teens can learn about college opportunities and university life with former 4-H members who now attend college.
The camp is open to youth ages 13-17 from active Air Force, Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard families. Admission is $20.
Participants take part in STEM-based programs at Eastern Washington University, Gonzaga University and Spokane Community College, while staying in EWU dorms.
