The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are sponsoring a one-week residential program for youth interested in transportation related careers. The Career Awareness Summer Project (CASP) offers a camp-like experience in a hands-on, safe and fun environment. It runs August 3-8 at Marquette University, 716 N. 11th Street, Milwaukee.

CASP is open to anyone in grades 5 through 8 throughout Wisconsin. To register, simply submit an essay. The deadline is July 15. To learn more about how to participate in this fun and exciting educational opportunity, contact June Robinson (414) 438-4583.

The CASP began in 1999 and since that time, over 500 students have experienced transportation related careers.
