.building bridges

 

Building Bridges is an seven day summer camp offered as a joint effort by Mississippi State University and Gear Up Mississippi to provide 10th graders from around the state a chance to experience an intense fusion of art, architecture, and interior design against a university backdrop. Campers will learn the principles of good design, will apply that knowledge through hands-on projects, and will build a foundation in art and design that will propel them into university life and beyond.

 

.admissions

 

There is no charge for GEAR UP students to participate in a summer enrichment camp, but space is very limited. Each Building Bridges Camp session can accomodate 24 students. Students will be admitted to a camp on a first come first serve basis. Students are allowed to attend only one summer camp. Site coordinators will be notified by e-mail which students have been admitted to a camp by March 21, 2006. The camp organizers will then send the parents more specific camp information and release forms.

Requirements:

  • Students must demonstrate a real interest in attending a GEAR UP Summer Enrichment Camp.
  • Parents must provide or arrange transportation for their child to and from the location of the summer camp.
  • Students must be recommended by their school counselor and principal.
  • The high school site coordinator for GEAR UP must fax all registration forms to the GEAR UP Mississippi state office by March 15, 2006. Our fax number is 601-432-7808.

For more details on the program, talk to a teacher or guidance counselor at your school.
