Young people spend Summers@Mizzou The Geospatial camp brought teams of young people to MU to learn about GPS technology in community service projects. Summers@Mizzou is a new partnership of University of Missouri Extension, MU Enrollment Management and academic departments to help young people learn about potential careers and develop new skills. Weeklong camps on entrepreneurship, engineering and geospatial technology were the first to be offered in 2007. MU Extension’s 4-H Youth Development Program is a key player, providing supervision in the dorms and coordinating evening activities, allowing academic departments to focus on the camp content. The 4-H center collaborates with MU Extension’s Conference Office to manage other details, including recruitment, budgeting, meal planning and facility reservations. More importantly, the MU 4-H Center for Youth Development helps campus faculty understand the differences between teaching college students and nonformal education for junior- and senior-high students. The camps are open to all Missouri young people, although about half of the 2007 participants were 4-H members. During the entrepreneurship camp, high school students learned how to make a business concept a reality by writing a business plan, creating a marketing strategy and developing financial projects. Teams of campers put the concepts to work developing business plans for three companies. The camp involved several MU Extension programs, including the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, a partnership with the MU College of Engineering; the 4-H youth entrepreneurship program; the community economic development and entrepreneurship initiative; and the Missouri Small Business Development Centers. The Missouri 4-H Foundation, MU Career Center and MU College of Business also supported the camp. 4h.missouri.edu/programs/summers/ 10 2007 Annual Report
