CTE Innovation Center at Roper Mountain

🔆 Camp Innovate is GREAT! 🔆

We kicked off summer camp today with an energetic group of rising 7th-9th graders from all across Greenville County Schools!

Our summer intern, Lila, joined by volunteers; Aarav, Mac, and Brenna; helped Mr. Stone facilitate hands-on activities that represent the 5-programs.

We look forward to the next camp days filled with middle school students on campus!
