We are excited to offer so many amazing options for Virtual Summer Camp.
The last few months have been crazy, and we have seen education take a path that no one could have predicted. To many of you we are old friends, and to some we are new friends, so we understand the anxiety you may be feeling about sending your child to summer camp. We have had many discussions about how to best serve our community, as well as what camp this year will look like, and we feel that a virtual camp is the best option. This allows for camp to still be something that is safe AND fun, while encouraging creative thinking and imagination along with learning. This is why we are going fully VIRTUAL this year for iCreate STEM Camp 2020!
Key things to know about virtual camp.
- Programs are sold ala carte by supplies involved. This means you have complete flexibility to sign up your camper for whatever projects and programs s/he may be interested in. You can choose one, more, or everything we offer!
- Because we are virtual this year, all of our campers will access their programs via the online platform Google Classroom.
- All Campers will need a Google email address.
- All programs include the tools and access necessary to complete the projects. However, there are some specific requirements listed under each program.
- All of the programs come with supplies to work on projects.
- There are additional Bonus Projects available for purchase if your camper completes the main program and would like to continue learning.
- Camp will run for a total of six weeks (July 6th – August 14th) and is self-paced.
