If you’re still finalizing your camp plans for the summer, iCAMP, a top STEAM camp in our area, blends tech (think: drone flying, 3D printing, video game design) with creativity and socialization. Kids have fun with technology in a screen-free way, and learn without feeling like they’re in school.
Here are 4 reasons our moms are sending their kids to STEAM camps like iCAMP, and why you might, too:
It’s Educational but NOT Like School
At iCAMP, kids are learning without realizing it. Whether it’s coding, robotics, studio or graphic art, science, filmmaking, video game design or 3D printing, kids learn by doing. A 6 to 1 camper-to-teacher ratio makes this kind of learning possible.
It’s a Chance for a Deep Dive
If you have a kid who loves tech or science but doesn’t get as much of them as they want at school, camp is a great way to immerse themselves. In addition to Hard Tech, Soft Tech and Science, iCAMP is a great opportunity for socializing because campers are surrounded by kids with similar interests.
Studies Show High Quality Camps Matter
The American Camp Association recently found that kids with a higher quality camp experience (like the one kids experience at iCAMP) reported higher appreciation of nature, being willing to try new things, better social awareness, increased independence and even grit. Better friendships were forged by higher quality camps—and this wasn’t true of lower-quality camps. In other words, which camp you choose matters.
Kids Love Tech—But Don’t Need Screens
Campers at iCAMP are immersed in tech, not screens. And that’s the difference between a higher quality camp. By recruiting teachers for their programs, iCAMP is able to find that unique balance of education and fun, sans screens.
