Grizzly Learning Camp
YCS Grizzly Learning Camp gives students so much more than just a "summer school"
Interview with Tiffany Powell and Lee Van Roth
School is officially back in session for Ypsilanti Community Schools students, but summer didn't keep some students and teachers away from the classroom. YCS's Grizzly Learning Camp gives students opportunities to explore their interests and further their education through hands-on projects, field trips, and partnerships with both Eastern Michigan University and the University of Michigan.
Grizzly Learning Camp offers free, hands-on learning for all Ypsi Community Schools students
At GLC, summer means hands-on discovery. Guided by teachers, university students, and community mentors, students spend their days building robots, engineering escape rooms, learning to fish, and exploring local college campuses.
