What an incredible way to wrap up our summer camps! 🌟

During our second and final week, students across our Pre-ETS Camp, Boys Camp, and Girls Camp spent the week learning, growing, and making lasting memories together. From starting each day with wellness activities to exploring Georgia State’s campus, creating T-shirts and picture collages, attending community outings, and building friendships, every day was filled with new experiences.

Thank you to all of the campers, staff, and partners who made this summer such a success. We enjoyed watching everyone learn, grow and connect throughout the camp experience!

Kicking off Day 1 of IDEAL’s Pre-ETS Summer Camp!☀️

Our Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) Summer Camp helps students build the skills, confidence, and experiences needed to explore future careers and prepare for life after high school. Through engaging, hands-on activities, students have opportunities to discover their interests, develop workplace readiness skills, and learn more about potential career pathways.

Today, campers got to know one another through fun icebreakers and activities that helped them discover shared interests. Students also explored career possibilities through job exploration activities and toured Georgia State’s campus to learn about different jobs and career paths that keep campus running.

We’re excited for a week full of learning, growth, and new experiences! 🌟

Another day, another adventure! ✨

Yesterday, our Girls Group visited Morehouse College to explore the world of STEM and assistive technology. Students tested out virtual reality experiences, learned about innovative tools that support people with disabilities, and connected with STEM students on campus. 🥽💻

They also took time to learn about the history and significance of HBCUs and the important role they continue to play in education and community.
