Linking Camps and Campers Since 1995
Hosted by Portland State University and funded by the Federal Highway Administration and Oregon Department of Transportation, the PSU Transportation Summer Camp is a week-long free program designed for high school students interested in transportation careers. Since 2016, the camp has offered participants the opportunity to explore various aspects of Portland’s transportation systems through expert lectures, field tours, and interactive workshops. The curriculum covers topics such as traffic engineering, transit operations, and environmental justice, enhancing students’ STEM and social advocacy skills. Attendees stay on campus in shared residential housing, interact with local professionals, and participate in group activities that promote leadership and community. The daily schedule alternates between classroom sessions and outdoor field experiences, providing a comprehensive and engaging learning environment about transportation infrastructure and planning in a major urban setting.
