7th Annual Camp DEM Prepares Future Workforce
"They have an opportunity to learn about physics, chemistry, design, engineering, manufacturing. They get to do a lot of cool stuff," said Christie Shelton, one of about 60 volunteers helping to run the camp.
The camp was free for all students, and meals and snacks were provided, said Shelton, thanks to 24 local sponsors. The majority of the students are from Dalton or Whitfield County, but a few do come from surrounding areas.
Barbara Ward, workforce development director for the Greater Dalton Chamber of Commerce which presents the camp, said the camp would not be possible without those sponsors and the group of volunteers. But, ultimately, it's about the students.
