Fifty-two campers from the Camp Wethonkitha day camp at the Cole Center Family YMCA
in Kendallville visited the Trine University campus on Wednesday, Aug. 1. The campers
were able to tour campus and eat lunch in the new MTI Center, and saw several demonstrations
related to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields during their
time on campus.
