Students throughout the camp will experience traveling the surrounding Beaufort areas to participate in daily academic projects with real-life applications. Such projects consist of the following:
• Construction Project
• Pet Project
• Coding Project
• Space Project
• Mathematical Modeling Project
• Science Project
• Finance Project
Field trips will include going to the Kazoo Factory in Beaufort and a boat ride with Vagabond Cruises on Hilton Head Island to reinforce science concepts. During leisure time students will have a plethora of activities to choose from including basketball, volleyball, tennis, reading night, trivia night, board games, movie and popcorn night, as well as making their own tie die shirt and lava lamps.
The program’s success is due to the collaboration of Dr. Sevim (USCB math professor & Camp Coordinator) and his USCB colleagues, along with RHHS’ staff: Dr. Westbrook (Principal), Mrs. Robino and Dr. Murphy (College Dual Enrollment Coordinators). Dr. Westbrook states “We are truly excited to have our students participate in the 10-day residential math camp with USCB. This opportunity is well in line with our district's mantra: StudentCentered and Future-Focused!" RHHS would like to thank Dr. Anderson (Superintendent of JCSD), Dr. Panu (Chancellor of USCB), our donors and the parents for supporting such a worthy cause as we positively impact the lives of students. We look forward to continuing our partnership with USCB as we explore other future options for our students.
