We are always looking for ways to improve our courses as well as generate new ones to keep campers engaged all summer! Course offerings are specific to a given session and change throughout the summer based on our campers' interests and staff.

Summer 2020 Courses

Week 1 and 2 Courses

​

Computer Science Level 1: Campers acquired the skill of thinking like a programmer, while sparking their interest for technology and code through collaborative projects.  

​

Cinematography: Cinematography was an immersive course that provided campers with the essentials of visual storytelling. 

​

Medical Sciences: Using case studies, creative projects, and online simulations, students  established a tool set for assessing illness in order to make their own mock diagnoses. 

​

Entrepreneurship: During the week, campers collaborated with one another to redesign an object in their everyday lives. By the end of the week, teams will come away with a business plan for a completely new product! 

​

Week 3 and 4 Courses

​

3D Graphics: Campers acquired tools necessary to step into the endless world of computer-generated imagery used by concept artists, character modelers, animators, architects, game designers, and movie studios!

​

Songwriting: This course gave campers the tools to produce completely original songs. From lyric writing to the basics of music theory, campers also cultivated their own, unique sound and musical taste.

​

Ecology: Campers explored the diverse, natural world around us, focusing on developing the skills needed for students to conduct their own research.

Acting: Throughout the week, campers learned how to create characters, break down monologues and perform group scenes. This collaborative course culminated in a digital performance! 

 

Epidemiology: This course was rooted in research methods for public health and the health sciences and empowered students to decide which evidence-based policies they would apply to protect a population. 

 

Coding: Building off of the skills learned in Computer Science 1, campers took a deep dive into the syntax and logic of coding in Python, one of the most used languages by today’s professional programmers! 

​

Architecture: In Camp Connect’s Architecture course, campers learned how to analyze and create their own scaled architectural drawings. 

​

Week 7 and 8 Courses

​

3D Graphics Level 2:  Campers covered new and creative modeling techniques that allowed for campers to truly turn their imagination into reality. 

​

Music Production and Engineering:  Campers learned to record tracks, make awesome drum beats, and design really funky and fun sounds--all with just a computer and headphones.

​

Photoshop: Campers learned to think like a graphic designer and apply the fundamental skills of Photoshop to your own designs and photographs. 

​

Website Design: Through professional coding languages such as HTML and CSS, instructors guided campers through the entire process of building their very own professional website.
