STREAM Camp
What is STREAM Camp?
STREAM Camp, formerly known as Reading Camp, is a three-week program, sponsored by Marietta College Education Department, designed to assist students in the development of improved reading abilities, oral and written communication skills, and positive attitudes toward reading. New this year, camp will be a full day and students will also receive instruction in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. Children’s literature and hands-on experiences are used as primary instructional tools.
The theme this year is Reading is Magic. Our main activities will be around the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling.
Other new things this year: Camp is full day, everyone receives a t-shirt, and lunch will be provided!
Where is the Summer Reading Camp?
Camp is held on the Marietta College campus, where students work in small groups with future (Marietta College students) and current teachers.
When is the STREAM Camp?
We plan to return to an in-person model for STREAM Camp in summer 2022. In the meantime, a backpack program for struggling readers is being implemented with local elementary schools with support of the Marietta Rotary Clubs, the Marietta Community Foundation, and the Martha Holding Jennings Foundation.
Who May Attend?
For the summer of 2021 the Backpack Program is distributing backpacks with books and activities to some of our local schools, which will then distribute them to identified students.
Camp enrollment is open to children who will be entering kindergarten through fifth grade in the Fall of 2020 and are recommended by their classroom teacher, principal, or other school personnel.How Do I Enroll?
Complete and return an application form by mid-April. Applications will be available at the start of the new year and sent to elementary schools. Students must be recommended by the classroom teacher, school principal, or other school personnel. Because enrollment is limited to a first-come, first-served basis, it is important to return your application as soon as possible. Upon your child’s admission to the program the student must attend an assessment date that will be arranged by your student's teacher. The results of these 30-minute assessments allow teachers to provide materials and lessons based on student's' reading level and interests.
What is the Cost?
The cost of the Summer Reading Camp is $350 per student. This amount includes a $20 registration fee that should be sent with your application (You may pay with cash, check, or online with a credit card at www.marietta.edu/STREAM-registration-2020). The remaining balance of $330 is due on the first day of camp. Note, families will receive a $30 discount for each additional child they enroll.
A limited number of need-based full and partial scholarships are available. If you wish to be considered for a scholarship, you must have your school principal complete and sign the financial aid area at the bottom of the application form.

Pioneer Pipeline
Each week, students with disabilities from Warren High School participate in multiple projects, activities, trips, where their focus is gaining social/recreational communication, functional living, academic and employment skills.
Mentors trained by the Education and Psychology Departments meet their assigned Pioneer Pipeline participant throughout the day to assist as job, employment and/or education coaches. Once students gain awareness of the campus, the multiple buildings and what MC has to offer them, they work their way into the Marietta community. Pioneer Pipeline is partially funded by a replication model grant from The Ohio State University Nisonger Center.
