We have camps spread throughout the state of Arkansas, from first grade upto senior year. I know that's not the complete answer, but it is a start. All those camps thissummer are filled.

For any seminars that include an online component, the project team will strive to makethem more engaging for students. For example, student engagement may benefit fromemphasizing the importance of keeping cameras on during seminars, for those students who areable to do so. Given that some ACCESS students reported that they would find this moreengaging and beneficial to community building (while not wanting to be the only student withtheir camera on), some encouragement may go a long way. Further, students may appreciate thathaving their camera on can allow them to connect to seminar speakers more directly
