Camp is a fun ritual that many kids and teenagers enjoy each summer while on break from school. It’s a time when they can meet new friends, learn new skills, explore the outdoors, and expand their horizons. Camp LSSU 2021 is excited to launch an offering of 3-day, 2-night summer camps, being held on Lake Superior State University’s campus and surrounding areas, throughout July and August 2021. Activities will range for each camp but may include performing experiments in LSSU’s state-of-the-art science labs, wading in Lake Superior to examine macroinvertebrates, enjoying a tall ship sail, or eating s’mores in front of a roaring fire.
