UW-Eau Claire’s Blugold Beginnings program is shifting its educational summer camps online this year. During June and July, Blugold Beginnings will offer numerous camps for kids from third grade through high school, including “Biomedical, Kinesiology and Nursing Camp,” “Art, Language, and Culture Camp,” “STEAM Camp,” “Robotics,” and “Coding Camp.” Project materials will be delivered to students the week before the camps begin, and camps will require access to a computer and Wi-Fi technology. (However, Blugold Beginnings can provide access to the necessary technology for students who need it.) Classes are $60 per student, but are free to kids in the Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls school districts; scholarships are also available to qualifying students from other districts. Registration opened May 11 and will continue until all spots are filled, so if you’re interested, act fast. Visit www.uwec.edu/blugold-camps/academic/blugold-beginnings/ to register or learn more.
