Stafford County Public Schools developed Middle School Career Exploration Online Summer Camps to support and increase awareness for middle school learners about the connections between career field interest and planning for success in their field of choice. Camp offerings included Code Breakers, Cyber Security, Express Yourself (Performing and Fine Arts Camp), The Medical Center, Protecting the American Landscape, The Final Frontier and STEM. Students were introduced to professionals in the field of study and were able to ask questions and converse about how to get into that particular field. These project based learning camps focused on the student planning process while also increasing deeper learning skills in an online learning environment focusing on the Virginia 5 C’s. Students also learned the essential tools for using the Learning Management System (LMS) Canvas. These MS camps also focused on increasing teacher interdisciplinary mindsets regarding instructional delivery and design in an online environment.
