Berks Career & Technology Center

What a week! 🎉 The last day of Career Camp wrapped up an exciting week of exploring, creating, problem solving, and trying something new. From hands-on projects and campus challenges to teamwork, skill building, and plenty of “I did it!” moments, our campers made the most of every day at BCTC.

We loved seeing their curiosity, confidence, and creativity grow throughout the week.

Thank you to our campers for bringing the energy and enthusiasm, and to our staff for helping make Career Camp such a fun experience!

Day 4 of Career Camp sent campers on the hunt! 🔎 Students took part in a GooseChase digital scavenger hunt, exploring campus, completing mini-challenges, and working together along the way.

From discovering new spaces at BCTC to jumping into more hands-on skill building, today was all about teamwork, curiosity, and a little friendly competition.

Day 3 of Career Camp brought even more hands-on fun! 🎉

Campers kept the momentum going as they explored new skills, tried out different career areas, and took on activities that challenged them to think, create, and work together.

Three days in, and Career Camp is still going strong!

Day 2 of Career Camp kept the energy rolling! 🎉 Today was all about teamwork, problem solving, and trying something new. Campers worked together through hoops and pipes team-building challenges, then jumped right back into hands-on skill building and career exploration across BCTC.

From figuring it out together to discovering new interests, our campers are making the most of every moment.

Bring on Day 3!

What a way to kick off Career Camp! 🎉 Day 1 was full of excitement as campers jumped into hands-on activities, explored new skills, met new friends, and got a first look at what career and technical education is all about.

From the first project to the first “I made that!” moment, Career Camp is already off to a great start.

We can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings!
