OKLAHOMA CITY – Metro Tech will host two camps for families and children of Oklahoma City and surrounding areas this summer.
The first, Camp Metro, will offer a variety of family activities such as gardening, ballet, martial arts, hip-hop dance, and kickboxing at the Wellness Center at 1600 Springlake Dr. from May 28 to May 31. Metro Tech’s Community Outreach and Wellness Department developed this program to focus on health and fitness for families.
“Families who play together stay together,” Valerie McMurry, Wellness and Community Outreach Director, said. “We want to reunite and strengthen them by returning to the basics of healthy family fun in a program they can enjoy together.”
With funding provided by a grant from the Oklahoma City Community Foundation, Camp Metro – Metro Fit Family Fitness will be offered in two sessions tailored to different age groups. The deadline to register for both sessions is May 21st.
The second, Camp Tech Trek, for 5th and 6th graders, will provide engaging lessons and active learning experiences to showcase various careers taught at Metro Tech.

The second, from June 10 to June 14, will be on the South Bryant Campus at 4901 S Bryant Ave. This session will include hands-on learning opportunities in programs such as welding, public safety, and automotive services.
