If you built in CAMP, you know what it takes.

The late nights.
The first test runs.
The lessons learned in failure.
The pride of competition.

CAMP builds engineers who can design, fabricate, manage projects, and lead teams — because they’ve already done it.

February 18–19, Raising for Rockers fuels the next generation of builders.
