Camps

Indian River State College offers a variety of fun, challenging and educational summer experiences for primary, middle, and high school students. Kids work directly with coaches, faculty, and staff as they develop key skills and explore their curiosities.

Pre-College and Career Exploration

IRSC Pre-College and Career Exploration Camps can help you choose your perfect career through hands-on activities and one-on-one interaction with staff and faculty who are experts in their field.

Students will receive training and information on leadership and citizenship skills; receive relevant information on gangs, drugs, and financial literacy; receive remediation in basic skills; receive instruction on occupational skills and career exploration; and will be introduced to parenting skills. All academic activities will be competency-based with achievement assessed daily. A pre-and post-test will be administered for each student. Students will receive remediation instruction in reading, writing, and math. Students will investigate a selection of occupational skills programs during career exploration activities. Students will be recognized for their accomplishments during their summer experience through an awards ceremony at the close of the summer program.

Students must be Okeechobee County residents. Once students complete the orientation and registration process, they will be assigned to groups with varying skill levels. During the career exploration component, the students will be actively engaged in learning occupational skills related to the sixteen career clusters:

Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources	Architecture & Construction
Arts, A/V Technology & Communications	Business, Management & Administration
Education & Training	Finance
Government & Public Administration	Health Science
Hospitality & Tourism	Human Services
Information Technology	Law, Public Safety, & Security
Manufacturing	Marketing, Sales & Service

Students participating in this program have the opportunity to earn a weekly stipend. Students earn this incentive money through individual and team building activities, which require positive participation, behavior, attendance, completion of assignments and tasks, attitude, and respect of others. This program piece is designed to stress good work ethic, financial responsibility, and self commitment. Many students earn their "first paychecks" based on their performance and may earn a scholarship to IRSC by the end of the summer.
