Full STEAM ahead! OSF STEAM Camp continues with hands-on learning for Surgery Day as campers explored the human body by molding their own vertebrae. Through creativity and discovery, they gained a deeper understanding of how our bodies are built and cared for.

🚨 OSF STEAM Camp Update 🚨

Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our campers, their families and our community, we have made the decision to cancel this afternoon’s STEAM Camp session.

This cancellation applies to the 6th–8th grade session scheduled for today at 12:30 p.m. in Mendota, Ottawa, Peru, Princeton and Streator.

We know how much our campers look forward to this experience, and we share in that disappointment. To ensure they still receive the full, hands-on learning we’ve planned, we will be extending camp later this week:

📅 Thursday & Friday
🕛 12–3:30 p.m.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep safety at the center of every decision. 💙
