Engineering Pathfinders Academy
Beginner (Level 1) and Advanced (Level 2) New! for Summer 2026
This focused, hands-on program gives students the opportunity to explore multiple engineering disciplines while working through real design challenges in a supportive but academically rigorous environment.
Designed for students rising into grades 8, 9, or 10 who are seriously considering engineering, this academy emphasizes critical thinking, persistence, and technical skill development. Activities require sustained focus and active participation as students work independently and collaboratively under the guidance of experienced mentors, gaining insight into how engineers approach problems in real-world settings.
New for 2026! Advanced/Level 2 camps available to campers from summer 2024 and 2025 who wish to extend their learning.
Each session culminates in a comprehensive final project, with successive sessions building on previously learned concepts and skills. Campers will apply iterative design processes, manage constraints, and produce tangible engineering takeaways that reflect their growth and effort throughout the week.
- A parent meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 5th at 5:30p at Challenger Colorado.
- Cell phones will be secured and unavailable during camp sessions.
- Early Bird registration opens March 1st | Regular registration begins May 1st
PLEASE NOTE: Some sessions are successive and have prerequisite sessions.
