A series of camp designed to spark excitement in all things science and technology is gaining STEAM.
Velocity Jr., originally established in 2012, has opened a second site this summer at Duncan Elementary, 14500 26 Mile Road in Shelby Township.
With the new site, more than 30 different camps are now available at Duncan and the program's original location, Rose Kidd Elementary in Sterling Heights.
