Camp PROA
Camp PROA is a summer bridge program aimed to help students be college and career ready through various engaging activities and opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and other related fields. The camp was an opportunity for high school students to explore their options and plan ahead for their future, strengthen ties with our indigenous Chamorro and Carolinian culture, and engage with their fellow voyagers, Project PROA navigators, 4H-Marianas camp advisors, and the NMC community.
This was a collaborative effort between 4-H Marianas, NMC’s Cooperative Research, Extension, and Education Services, NMC’s Academic Programs and Services, NMC’s Student Support Services, NMC’s Area Health Education Center, Taniguchi Ruth Makio Architects, SP Dancoe and Associates LLC, 500 Sails, Bureau of Environmental and Coastal Quality, U.S. District Court of the Northern Mariana Islands, Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation, Northern Mariana Islands Museum of History and Culture, American Memorial Park, Office of Information Technology- Executive Branch, Division of Fish and Wildlife, Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services, CNMI Public School System, Isla Clinic, Tinian Mayor’s Office, Tinian Court House, and Historic Preservation Office-Tinian.
A total of 50 voyagers completed the 2-week program–40 on Saipan and 10 on Tinian. The voyagers from each site simultaneously participated in various career presentations in STEM and other related fields, such as nursing, graphic design, business, law, and criminal justice. The voyagers also engaged in cultural activities and visited major historical sites on their home island.
