Michael & Son's Trade Summer Program

Applications are open for students ages 17–18 who are interested in exploring careers in the skilled trades, specifically plumbing and HVAC.

This hands-on camp introduces students to real-world skills, exposes them to the tools and knowledge used in the trades, and helps them understand pathways to apprenticeships, certifications, and long-term careers. It’s an ideal program for students considering alternatives to traditional college or those eager to take their first step into a stable, high-demand industry.

If you are curious, motivated, and ready to explore the trades, we would love to receive their application. As part of the process, we’ve also included a short section for a parent, guardian, or counselor's recommendation and why you are interested in your own words.

Date: July 11th

Time: 9:00am-2:00pm

Details can be found in flyer HERE
