OUR SUMMER STEAM CAMP is a residential camp for 48 rising middle school students from 12 North Carolina counties. Campers participate in interactive, inquiry-based classes taught by professors, secondary school teachers and STEM educators.  Students learn dining etiquette, why it is important to Remain on Task (R.O.T.), need for Consistency Over Time (C.O.T.), and learning effective teamwork skills through camp activities. The hallmark tenet of our camp is the STEM based triadic learning framework, which includes shadowing and modeling medical and dental students, engineers, collegiate collaborative circuit tours, and classroom interactive engagement.

In its seventh year, GHCI’s Summer STEAM Camp continues to ignite the passion and aptitude of middle school scholars in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM). The 2025 program, themed "Preparing for My Future with Human Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence," focused on developing a mindset of planning and commitment to excellence. Intelligence is what we bring to the table each day. AI is what was built by humans not some technical wizard. By using rocketry, scholars applied the data they collected (their truths) to what AI generated (its truths). This year’s camp reached 33 scholars in 9 counties across North Carolina.
