When the Going Gets Tough

When the going is hardest, just keep on keeping on, and you’ll get there sooner than someone who finds the going easy.
If you think achieving great heights of success will be easy, you either don’t understand at all how the process works or you have your sights set too low. Reaching the top of any field is difficult, time-consuming, and often tedious. The reason it isn’t crowded at the top is that most people won’t do the things that are necessary to achieve success. They are all too willing to give up when the going gets tough. If you need inspiration to persevere, read the biographies of men and women who have achieved greatness in their lives. You will find that they prevailed because they refused to quit. They continued to toil alone long after the masses had given up and gone home.

PAYMENT:

Camp is $95 for an individual student and covers the cost of instruction and supplies as well as a camp tshirt for your student!

 

DIRECTIONS:

Our camp is held at Rio West Community Church, 6751 Pasilla Road in Rio Rancho.

This is just across from River’s Edge #2 entrance and a few miles south of the intersection of Hwy 550 and Hwy 528.

 

WHAT THEY WILL LEARN:

Our camp is not limited to simply building a robot. Without a doubt, your student could learn that skill at home with a book on their own. The camp is designed to teach fundamental building skills in addition to writing an abbreviated engineering manual, developing team spirit as well as the excitement (and sometimes disappointment) of competition. Throughout the week we will share how our team has learned through difficult experiences and challenges as a way to provide an example to your student that there is value in trials. You can expect that your camper will be challenged to work with other team members – this is part of the process and where a lot of learning occurs. If you have a concern, do not hesitate to discuss it with Shelly Gruenig, but also support your student through what may be one of the most exciting and challenging experiences of their lives! Older campers will work side by side with younger campers, just as our team does – understanding that every team member brings experience and depth to the program.

 

AGE:

Although the camp is designed for students 10 -17, on occassion we will accept younger students.

If you have a younger student that might be interested in camp, please contact Dr. Shelly Gruenig at 715-7732 to discuss the possibility.
