Summer camps

The school year is winding down, and a lot of the kids in the area are going to be headed to one camp or another. But for some, camp is too expensive, making access difficult or impossible. That’s where Washtenaw Camp Placement comes in. It connects those kids with the opportunity to participate in sleep-away summer camp and build a relationship with nature, increase self-esteem and expand personal horizons. WEMU's David Fair talked with executive director Matt Tarver-Wahlquist about this year’s opportunities and whether changes in federal policy and funding programs will have an impact.

Registration opens soon for a number of summer camps that aim to inspire future explorers and professionals. WEMU’s Caroline MacGregor reports.

Those with the Biological Station hope the free events will bolster the station's community reach. WEMU's Taylor Bowie has more.
