The Impact of Manufacturing Camps on the Kids Who ParticipateBased on 2010 participant surveys
Theres Nothing Like the Confidence of YouthRemember back to when you were about 13 or 14, and you were confident you knew how to do EVERYTHING well at least until someone called you on it.The first four survey questions are designed to check on this youthful confidence.
Design SkillsI am confident in my ability to design a product using a computer: pre-camp - 55% agree, 34% neutral, 12% disagree post-camp -- 70% agree, 15% neutral, 15% disagreeSurprise! Tougher than they thought
Manufacturing SkillsI am confident in my ability to construct a product start-to-finish using manufacturing equipment: Pre-camp - 73% agree, 23% neutral, 8% disagreePost- camp 88% agree, 10% neutral, 2% disagree
Understanding EntrepreneurshipI understand the challenges of taking a product from an idea to a business.Pre-camp 69% agree, 24% neutral, 7% disagreePost-camp 86% agree, 11% neutral, 4% disagree
Manufacturing Career InfoThe next group of questions are designed to assess how much the students know about: manufacturing in general, types of careers available locally and the kind of training needed for a manufacturing career, as well as their potential interest in pursuing such a career.
Available Jobs I know the types of manufacturing jobs available in my local communityPre-camp 32% agree, 42% neutral, 25% disagreePost-camp 78% agree, 19% neutral, 3% disagreeHuge gains made here in understanding mfg. job potential in their community
Training NeededI understand the training needed for a future manufacturing careerPre-camp 60% agree, 27% neutral, 13% disagreePost-camp 86% agree, 10% neutral, 4% disagreeHuge gains made here in understanding academic training needed for mfg jobs
Earning PowerI believe manufacturing offers high paying jobs.Pre-camp 77% agree, 19% neutral, 4% disagreePost-camp -- 87% agree, 10% neutral, 3% disagree

Camp Experience (post-camp survey)85% were satisfied very satisfied with their camp experience88% would recommend this camp to a friend78% would take a more advanced camp if oen were offered
My Favorite ThingsMy favorite part of camp was:Operating equipment/machineryWeldingCAD DesignInstructorsTouring local manufacturersMaking so many new friendsSpecial projectsEntrepreneurship activities
In their own wordsI learned a lot and had lots of fun. I was surprised to find how many different jobs there are in the manufacturing industry and how much of an impact manufacturing businesses have on our community. Learning to weld and use tools like the horizontal band saw, drill press, and belt sander was fun and educational. Our instructors, Mike and Steve, were upbeat and helped us every step of the way. I loved touring Pierce, because it gave me a look at what I could do in the future. I hope I get a chance to do it again next summer. Thanks to everyone who made this possible. Alex, age 12
In their own wordsMy experience was very helpful in learning how manufacturing and engineering are very important and helpful things. This has made me consider a job as a manufacturer.It was great that you guys would help us in our most and highest interests inmanufacturing. Also that we got sponsors from local companies and Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs.I really like welding. We canmake anything at all.
