Each program will be limited to 16 students, and participants will be selected based upon the short answer questions at the end of this form. Each program is open to rising freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors in high school. Each student will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the session. Unfortunately we are not hosting programs for younger campers this year, but we look forward resuming these camps in the future. Deadline extended! Applications will be accepted through 30 June 2021. Our three programs are: Week One: Public Affairs Program 12-16 July 2021 0900-1300 How does the United States Marine Corps effectively communicate news stories, manage social media, and disseminate Marine Corps information to the public? During this program participants will learn the various skills needed to be a successful Public Affairs Officer in the Marine Corps, from journalism and photography techniques, to social media and design layout.

On the last day, the students will test their engineering skills by testing their ROVs in a pool.
