Southern Oregon U.'s "Inspire Academy"

Southern Oregon University

When school is out for the summer, getting more education is the last thing on many kids' minds.

Maybe that's why Southern Oregon University left the words "school" and "education" out of its summer program: Inspire Academy.

The academy offers middle school-aged kids an "experience" in many realms, from chess strategy to stage combat to monster anatomy.  Academy director Dan Woodward drops by to fill us in on course offerings and student--uh, camper--requirements.
