We've wrapped up our adventure academies for this summer and we're sad to see all of our campers go, but we know you all had an amazing time! From building and launching rockets, to welding, to watching baby chicks hatch. This type of hands-on learning isn't something you get at every summer camp. If you missed out, be sure to sign up early next summer! We hope to see everyone again soon.

Support that makes a lasting impact! Thank you to Solidus Equipment Systems for hosting a sporting clay fundraiser benefiting Ranken's Collision Repair Program. Funds raised will help purchase cutting-edge technology, including AR spray equipment, giving our students the opportunity to train with the latest tools in the industry.

We were honored to host 80+ educators from Boone County as part of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Show Me Careers program. They took part in two interactive sessions highlighting Ranken’s hands-on approach to career and technical education:

• “The Math in Roof Systems” — showcasing real-world math through our Carpentry and Building Construction program
• “Turn on the Power” — a hands-on experience featuring our Electrical program

We’re grateful for the chance to learn alongside local educators and keep strengthening the bridge between classrooms and careers. Events like these help build our future communities.
