By Emma Crawford Kent Daily Journal TUPELO – Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) will dominate the Tupelo Public School District’s “Camp Opportunity” this summer. The program, which features four week-long sessions, each featuring several camps, in June, has been put on by the district for nearly 20 years and currently takes place at Lawndale Elementary School. Teresa Gregory, Camp Opportunity director, said the camps are designed to help students exercise their brains during the summer when they’re out of school. “We’re really doing it because we want the kids to have an opportunity in the summer to keep their minds fresh, and not just sitting down at the desk doing something, but more hands-on activities,” Gregory said. Camps are open to any student who has completed kindergarten up to seventh grade, and usually anywhere from 200-250 students attend throughout the four weeks. TPSD teachers lead the camps, all of which focus on hands-on, interactive learning.
