ESU4Teens 2026 will take place from July 20 - July 22. Registration deadline is June 20, 2026
ESU4Teens is a 3-day, STEAM-focused experience that students going into grades 7-11 this Fall won’t want to miss! This year’s program will include designing an object using Engineering Graphics to be individually 3D printed, solving a mystery using Forensics, a field trip and more fun activities!
Lunch will be provided on the first and the last day by ESU’s cafeteria. Cost is included in the registration.
On the second day we will spend the day at the Cherry Valley National Wildlife Refuge where staff will lead a variety of outdoor activities. Transportation for the field trip will be provided to and from ESU. Participants will need to pack their lunch for this day!
ESU staff and faculty oversee the ESU4Teens program and daily operations. Instructors include ESU professors as well as ESU students. It is our goal to provide a safe environment for each camper to have a great experience!
