My Tomorrow campers actively engage in a surgical technology lab.
The first week of Penn College’s My Tomorrow camp, guiding middle-school students in a wide range of career-related activities, was held June 24-28. The week successfully spotlighted careers in engineering, business, arts and health sciences. In addition to its focus on professional pathways, the popular offering engaged youngsters in a variety of interactive activities and friendship-forming fun. A second My Tomorrow week is set for July 8-12 (and registration is already full). My Tomorrow is sponsored by the Soars Family.
