Titan Machinery Diesel Camps are back and better than ever! 

With a new year right around the corner, Team Titan is EXCITED to share our latest and greatest in Titan Machinery Career Development programs – the expansion of our summer-held Student Camps.
 
In 2023, we launched our first-ever Diesel Camps with a mission to provide students of all backgrounds, genders, and socioeconomic statuses the chance to experience hands-on learning with us in a safe, fun, and engaging environment. Our goals with these camps were:
 
  • To help rewrite the current and often negative narrative around careers in the skilled trade industry.
  • To combat that narrative's misconceptions and thus impacts on kids interested in the world of heavy equipment and diesel mechanics.
  • To be an innovative leader in solving our nation's current skilled trade shortage.
  • To instill in every camper attending just a bit more confidence in themselves and their interests in the field than what they had when they began.

This year, our goals are the same. However, with the help of our education partners and dealerships, we are excited to announce our newest expansions in both locations and types of camps for 2024. 

 

 

Expanding Titan Machinery Student Camps in 2024

As our industry's needs evolve, so do we. Last year, our summer camp program featured four camps, each providing students the opportunity to step into the work boots of a Service Technician/Diesel Mechanic.  These were our Titan Machinery Diesel Camps.  
 
This year, not only have we increased our outreach through the addition of new colleges partnering with us to host more camps, but we are also eager to welcome our first-ever Titan Machinery Precision Camp. 
 
In this camp, our curriculum shifts the focus to provide students with the opportunity to step into the work boots of a Precision Technology Specialist. Precision Technology is a specialty becoming increasingly in demand as the technology within our equipment advances, so we are excited to offer a camp dedicated to just that, in addition to our existing Diesel Camps. 
 

What Campers Can Expect

Regardless of the camp students attend, all Titan Machinery summer campers can continue to look forward to the following:
 
  • The chance to engage with and learn from industry professionals.
  • Meeting and connecting with like-minded peers their own age.
  • Creative, hands-on, project-based learning activities that give them a taste of working in the industry.
  • Insights on the various positions that work together at a dealership team.
  • Collaboration with each other and the experts on hand throughout the entire camp experience.
  • A fun and unique summer opportunity!

The differences will lie in the subject of activities and lessons students are working through.

 

 

Diesel vs Precision: Key Differences

Diesel Camp participants will explore the ins and outs of working on equipment alongside our certified Diesel Technology instructors, industry experts, and current student technicians. They will collaborate through various mechanical projects and work together to solve real-world problems that regularly come across our Titan Machinery Service Desks – just as a Service Technician would!
 
Precision Camp participants will explore the ins and outs of Precision Technology alongside our Precision Technology instructors and top industry experts. They will learn about the technical and digital systems found in heavy equipment and collaborate to problem-solve through general maintenance processes. 
 

No matter the camp avenue, we guarantee students the chance to learn and explore in a setting far from their typical classroom.

 

The Addition of Titan Machinery Diesel Days

Finally, in addition to our camps, we are eager to provide families with another avenue for summer career exploration this year! 
 
Titan Machinery Diesel Days is an alternative program to the typical camp format. Attendees of Diesel Days will have the same Titan dealership experience opportunities as those in our Diesel Camps, but with an abbreviated schedule! This program is perfect for students local to a hosting Titan Dealership who cannot commute to their nearest camp location or for families limited by their busy summer schedules. Participants will still collaborate through real-world learning projects while exploring the ins and outs alongside our certified Diesel Technology experts and student technicians.

 

How To Register

Registration opens on January 1st through our Student Camps home page, so mark your calendars and ensure you're following us on all our social media platforms for the latest updates. 
 
You can view a complete list of camps scheduled below and expect updates on Diesel Day dates and locations this spring. 
 

We cannot wait to meet each and every one of our campers. Thank you to all the families and education partners who supported us last year and continue supporting us as we grow!
