The annual academic summer camp for high school students associated with Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math and Science program will begin on the Alva campus with move-in day on Sunday, May 30, from 4 to 6 p.m.
The students will live in university housing while on campus and will eat their meals in Coronado Café. All students go home every Thursday after lunch and return to campus every Monday.
This five-week camp will finish on July 1; however, all students will return July 12-16 for a cultural field trip.
Jaunita Dotson, Upward Bound director, said the program currently has enrolled students from Aline-Cleo, Alva, Burlington, Cherokee, Fairview, Ringwood, Timberlake and Waynoka and are able to accept additional students in the eighth through 11th grades from these schools. All students will receive hands-on learning experiences in a variety of morning classes that run Monday through Thursday.
