Summer Camp Programs

CIAP of NJ created two unique summer camps, Construction Camps and the Future Civil Engineers Camp, to introduce students of all ages to the exciting world of construction careers.

Construction Camps

These camps are all about reaching the inquisitive minds of younger students, who even at the early age of 8, can start to relate to what they may want to be when they "grow up." It is the perfect time to introduce different career paths and opportunities. The camps also educate parents about all the tremendous benefits of careers in the industry through the materials that come home with the students.

Camp Activities include: Hands-on activities and exploration, field trips to the union training centers and special programs all from our participating union trades featuring the carpenters, construction laborers and the operating engineers.

Camps are held at Essex County Community College, Gloucester County College, Middlesex County College, Ocean County College and Union County College.

This camp is all about motivating the most creative minds of a new generation of prospective civil engineers to become leaders for the construction industry in New Jersey.

This 5-day overnight camp, for rising high school seniors from all over the state, is held at The College of New Jersey. Students accepted to the camp have the opportunity to interact with civil engineering students, distinguished educators and professionals from the industry.

Camp Features: Mini-courses in computer-aided drafting, operating the latest in surveying equipment, hands-on lab experiences, guest speakers, and evening social activities. The highlight of the camp is the site visit to a construction site to meet with practicing engineers.
