The 2025 Camp Season is Underway.
SAME’s 2025 STEM/Engineering & Construction Camps are halfway through its summer season. Dozens of high school students have made their way to military bases around the country to experience military and engineering life first hand and to develop skills that will serve them well in their future careers.
Participants at SAME/Army Camp in Vicksburg, Miss., the SAME/Air Force Academy Camp in Colorado Springs, Colo., the SAME/Navy Camp at Jacksonville, Fla., the SAME/Marine Corps Camp at Camp Lejeune, N.C. finished their programs in June. In mid-July, the SAME/Navy Camp at Port Hueneme, Calif., rounds out the 2025 camp season! Each camp welcomes students into a five day program of volunteer and mentor-led activities that will introduce them to real world engineering challenges designed to build teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills. Take a look back at memories made in some of the amazing activities and STEM focused competitions that challenged these talented students. Stay tuned for more photos and a comprehensive wrap-up of all of the camps as we finish the 2025 summer camps season in August.
SAME and the SAME Foundation help to coordinate the Engineering & Construction Camps and provide critical support for our Camps Mentor program, while the SAME Camps COI is instrumental in organizing and managing all of the behind-the-scenes details that keep the camps running smoothly. It takes a village, they say – in our case, it takes a community of dedicated volunteers.

“This was an incredible experience – one that we would recommend to any high schooler. The combination of learning, applied skills development, creativity, team building and camaraderie, I have never seen before. The ultimate summer camp and a transformative experience for their futures. Hats off to all who planned and executed this! Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
