DC3I connects participants with the unique opportunities the city has to offer in post-secondary education, growth careers, and entertainment. For six days/five nights, youth stay in the dorms at WSU to get a feel for campus life. They participate in a wide range of education/awareness workshops, business and government tours (e.g. Newlab at Michigan Central, Microsoft Tech Center, the City of Detroit Business Offices), and recreational/entertainment/cultural events (e.g. biking and kayaking, a Juneteenth Celebration, a Detroit Symphony Orchestra performance, a youth-led tour of Detroit Institute of Arts). Participants also have the opportunity to speak with city and state decision-makers and access apprenticeships and training programs in growth industries. DC3I helps youth craft their own vision for their future and identify pathways for making it happen in Detroit.
Youth must be available to stay on Wayne State's campus the full week of the summer camp!
