2012 Adventure Academy

Registration is now open for the 2012 camps! To register, go to the calendar at the bottom of the page and click "sign up" next to the camp in which you are interested.

This year Ranken is again hosting two weeks of fun and learning at the annual Ranken Adventure Academy! The first week of camps will be for middle school students and the second week is for high school students. This is a new and exciting way for students to learn about technology!

Each camp has incorporated activities for the students to design, create and work with hands-on projects.  Most of the courses include unique projects that the students will be able to take home. The camps range from building go-karts to designing and manufacturing jewelry.
