Skills Manitoba offered a trades and technology overnight camp in Thompson, last week.

Alyssa Harman, Northern In-School Program Officer for Skills Manitoba, tells us about the overnight camp: "So the camp was for boys and girls ages 13 to 16, funded mainly by apprenticeship Manitoba as well as Vale as a chance to promote careers in the skilled trades and technologies and mining, in a more fun, interactive, and exciting way".

The kids got to go on a number of industry tours. Harman says this is the first time this camp was offered in Manitoba.

Participants came from all over the North including students from South Indian Lake, Shamattwa, Nelson House and The Pas.
