1 Technology Learning PLUS Summer Camp Fun! summer 2016

2 MISSION & Program Mission We educate, entertain and help develop healthy kids and teens. Emagination has been a leader in technology education for over 30 years. Programs Computer Camp for Kids & Teens Emagination s core computer camp program for ages 8-17 blends technology learning in three tech workshops with fun summer camp activities. Pre-College STEM Programs for Teens Programming Camp Teens learn to code in C# and build a Windows application. Minecraft Coding Camp Teens learn Java coding skills while creating Minecraft mods. Game Design Camp Teens learn the game design process and build a playable game. See page 7 for more information on Emagination s STEM programs. TECHNOLOGY LEARNING PLUS SUMMER CAMP FUN Emagination s computer camp program for kids and teens offers a choice of 25 technology workshops including: We ve tried other computer camps closer to home but none offered the courses or traditional camp experience of Emagination. My son is definitely returning next summer. Parent, Richmond, VA Mathew attended Emagination for years and just received a fabulous job offer from Google. Thank you Emagination! Parent, Great Neck, NY Create Digital Media Virtual Reality, 3D Modeling, Photoshop, Web Design Learn to Code Scratch, Coding Basics, JAVA, Apps, Minecraft Modding Design Video Games 3D RPG, Action, Puzzle, Mobile, Unreal, Minecraft Discover Engineering Robotics, CAD, RC Cars, Redstone Circuitry Get Unplugged Retro Games, Swimming Campers take three tech workshops plus Retro Games per two-week session. We operate in two-week sessions because it gives campers time to make friends, build self-confidence and become part of a community. We believe that recreation and socializing are essential ingredients to a successful and well-rounded summer camp experience. That s why outdoor recreation is one of four periods each day and a key part of the evening program. IT S WORTH THE TRIP! Emagination s beautiful campuses with modern facilities attract campers from nearby communities, many states and several foreign countries. That makes us very different from local weeklong technology camps. It may require a family drive or even an airplane ride, but it s worth the trip. CT GA IL 2 mission & Program
