The George Fox College of Engineering invites high school students ages 16 to 18 to join us for our inaugural high school Maker Camp July 12-16!

If you know a high school student who loves hands-on projects, figuring out how things work, and exploring the latest technologies in making, send them this link to register for Maker Camp 2021.

Participants will expand their skills with 3-D modeling and printing, automation, computer programming and design as they work alongside George Fox engineering students and faculty to create their own custom engineering devices, utilize industry tools and equipment, and make new friends.

We will take time each day to engage in spiritual reflection, build relationships, and enjoy the beautiful George Fox campus. Maker Camp participants will hear from industry professionals about ways engineering intersects with their walk with Christ and why, as a Christian, they love being in the field of engineering.

Contact Tamara Wytsma (twytsma@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Recent George Fox graduates are eligible to purchase a Hadlock Student Center membership for summer 2021. A membership is required to use the Hadlock Student Center facility, but no membership is needed in order to rent outdoor equipment during the summer. Summer memberships are $75 and valid through Aug. 25, 2021.

Students that are continuing for the fall semester will continue to maintain access to the Hadlock Student Center at no additional cost. Students do not need to be enrolled in summer classes to use the facility.

Check in at the Plant Services office when you arrive so that we can direct you to what is available. If there are six people in the custodial bay, you will be directed to wait outside the custodial bay (outside the building) for your turn.

As always, please leave the tables organized. This makes the experience of “shopping” easier for everyone. Questions can be directed to the Plant Services Office at ext. 2010.

We are in the middle of a six-day heat wave! The Hadlock Student Center’s rental center is bustling with students and employees renting equipment! We wanted to remind you that Hadlock is closed Saturdays and Sundays.

However, if you are hoping to rent equipment for the weekend, you can reserve the equipment for the weekend and pick the items up on Friday before the weekend begins. The equipment must be returned between 6 a.m. and noon on Monday morning. Campus Recreation has a weekend rental rate that is very affordable for these types of rentals.

The Hadlock rental center has inflatable paddle boards, inflatable kayaks, and sit-on-top hard kayaks. Other popular summer items include cornhole, Spikeball, hammocks, tents, sleeping bags, and other camping supplies!

To make a reservation or see what we have available, please go here.
