LAST CALL to Register!

Dear Families and Community Members,

Space is becoming limited for some of the career and technical education (CTE) summer camps and academies that will be offered this summer through the Cheboygan-Otsego-Presque Isle Educational Service District (COPESD)!

The camps are available to students in grades 7-12. They provide access to hands-on learning experiences in a multitude of career fields, and we encourage you to register students soon. Registration will be available until Friday, June 6, at www.copesd.org/stem-cte-summer-camps-and-academies/.

Some of the programs are now full, including the First Aid & CPR Camp and the Welding Academy. However, many openings remain in a variety of exciting areas, such as building trades, healthcare, machining, drone operations, and more.

Providing students with access to CTE programs is critical in our region. Approximately 83% of respondents to a 2024 survey conducted by COPESD said they were aware of the difficulty employers and community members experience finding workers with needed vocational skills.

Our goal is to provide as many students as possible with a chance to develop new skills and explore potential career fields. If you have questions about the summer camps and academies or need assistance with registration, please contact Laura Percival at 231-238-9394 or percival@copesd.org.

As always, thank you for your interest in these programs and for your continued support for the students we serve.

Sincerely,

Jamie Huber

Superintendent
