Construction camp introduces young students to careers, degree paths
June 16, 2026
On a cloudy Tuesday morning, eight middle school Construction Pathways campers with UW-Stout Polytechnic’s summer STEAM experience watched a crane lift an air conditioning unit onto the new Aspirus Clinic that is being built in Chippewa Falls.
The site tour, led by the Boldt Company, introduced the campers to different career opportunities in the construction industry, including project management, skilled trades, labor, engineering, safety, and more, as well as what being a construction management student at UW-Stout Polytechnic might be like.
