Registration Information

All registration is done online through our website.  You will find a simple registration form at the bottom of the course page.  Once you fill out the registration form and complete payment, you should receive a confirmation email regarding your purchase.

Payment Information

All payments are taken using PayPal, however you do not need to have a PayPal account in order to pay for any of our course or camp offerings.  We use PayPal because it is a secure method for customers to make payment transactions.  PayPal allows for you to choose your method of payment even if you do not already have an account.

Camper Information Packets

Along with the registration form you filled out during the online registration packet, you will also receive an information packet.  This packet will be emailed to you and it contains detailed information such as: tentative daily schedule, camper health forms and waivers along with a list of things to bring and other information.  These packets are typically emailed no less than 2 weeks prior to the start of your child’s camp session depending on when you registered for camp.  There may be some delay in receiving your packet if you register the week before a session.

 

Outdoor Activities

We take frequent breaks throughout the day that include outside play to give our young campers a balanced summer camp experience.

Students typically receive 5-6 hours per day of computer instruction, so there is still plenty of time for well-balanced activities like:

  • Teambuilding Activities
  • General Gameplay
  • Sports, Chess, Games

 

  

 

  Rock Climbing Component

In addition to the robotics activities (see below) campers are trained in knot tying and safety because they take two afternoon field trips to rock climbing. As with all our programs we go outside several times a day for inclusive group games and confidence building activities.
