Camp Wethonkitha visits campus

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.
