What is Kids on Campus?
Cool Projects! Awesome Technology! Two weeks of exciting workshops for middle and HS students. Kids on Campus is all about cutting-edge topics involving computers, science, math, art, and technology. It’s a chance to work in small teams, unleash creativity, and develop critical thinking skills.

Who belongs at Kids on Campus?
Kids on Campus is for students who love technology — workshops are specifically designed to capture the interest and imagination of students with high academic potential. Students actively participate in a rigorous, hands-on learning experience, and must be able to work well in a group setting. There should be no behavioral concerns that might negatively impact the group dynamic.

Parents will need to sign the following statement when they register:

“My child performs well in school and there are no behavioral concerns that could impact on his/her ability to participate in a rigorous academic program, swimming and recreation.”

How does it work?
Kids on Campus offers two repeating sessions during the month of July. Each session is two weeks long and runs from 9 AM to 3 PM, daily, Monday through Friday. Students choose one area to focus on for the two-week session. Workshops are small group, hands-on, project-oriented, and lots of fun.

We have designed our workshops to offer flexibility for students. Workshops have been developed for beginner through advanced learners and are offered at three grade levels: 5-6, 7-9 and 9-12. Please note: grade level is determined by what grade your child will enter in the fall.

An extended day option is available from 3 PM to 5 PM. Activities include outdoor games, indoor strategy games and computer activities.

Students may enroll in more than one session. Read the workshop descriptions on the following pages and follow the registration instructions.

Once you have registered, please go to Forms, complete and return the Welcome Packet.
