Tech Camp is a co-ed summer day camp for children ages 9-13, which runs from June to August in the Cleveland, Akron and Columbus area, focusing on computer technologies.
Children learn up to three technologies at Tech Camp: Video Game Design, Stop Motion Animation, and LEGO Robotics. Each day, campers pick the technology they want to learn. During the week, kids can pick any combination of programs to learn.
In this program, campers work on projects and lesson plans to develop their technology skills. In LEGO Robotics, students build and program a robotic car with motors, gears, and sensors. In Stop Motion Animation, students produce claymation-style movies with sound effects, green screen technology, and their own voices. In Video Game Design, students design their own video games that can play on Windows computers. Students are able to take home their movies and video games on a USB drive provided at camp. During project time, campers are working with counselors and fellow campers to build their robots, design video games, and produce movies. On our last day of camp, Friday, we show off our work and awards are given to everyone.
Camp counselor ratios are ~7:1, allowing campers to receive individual attention. Counselors are college-educated and verified with background checks to ensure the safest environment possible for your child.
All children at Tech Camp receive a camp t-shirt and a USB drive to take home projects and pictures.
A Typical Camp Day
Each day of camp, when children arrive, campers pick a technology to learn. For example, on Monday, your child may want to start the camp week off creating video games. On Tuesday, he/she may want to keep programming games. But on Wednesday, your child might want to make movies (Stop Motion Animation) or build robots. On Thursday and Friday, they may switch back to video games or try something new.
Friday is our fun day. Not like every day isn’t a fun day already, but on our last day, it’s a little different. On Friday, we have additional fun activities for the kids, show off our movies and video games made during the week, have robotics competitions, and more. Of course, children are welcome to continue working on their projects on Friday or just have group fun on the last day.
