Summer is approaching and we are pumped! We at Pitsco love summer not just because of the weather and all the fun things to do during this time, but because it means summer programs and camps! STEM camps, robotics camps, coding camps, you name it – we are here for them.

“It’s not my problem. It’s somebody else’s problem.”
We are all guilty at times of waiting for the experts, the officials, the duly sanctioned to tackle problems that are outside our wheelhouse. However, there are also moments when a great purpose inspires a great accomplishment from an unlikely source.

I’m sure most can agree that 2020 has been anything but consistent. (Newsflash!)
If anything, it seems the only consistency this year has been change. Each day, you have new information, new regulations, and new approaches to the way you live your life popping up all around you. However, one thing that remains consistent – now and during the past 49 years of Pitsco’s existence – is our approach to supporting you.
