SEATTLE - Say goodbye to summer programs of the past. Cybercamps, the national leader in technology education for youth, is not your parents' summer program. Seattle-based Giant Campus, Inc., creator of Cybercamps, will roll out its nationwide computer camp program at more than 50 university campuses across the country beginning June 2007. More information about locations and specific camp dates can be found at www.cybercamps.com.

With more than a decade of experience in teen technology, Cybercamps is the oldest and largest nationwide summer computer camp, offering the coolest technology courses that students could want. Boys and girls ages 7-18 create cutting-edge projects while learning alongside friends who share their same interests.

Cybercamps offers the broadest and most sophisticated array of computer and technology courses available in a summer program, organized into three progressive tracks to suit all ability levels. Courses include game design, 3D Game Artistry, Web Design, Digital Photography, Flash Animation, Computer Programming, Java Scripting, Robotics, and music and video editing - just to name a few. Students are grouped according to age level and all courses are project-based, so kids will leave with a project that they can bring home to show their parents and friends.

To create a well-rounded camp experience, Cybercamps offers a variety of other activities so not all the time is spent in front of a computer. Some of these activities include team sports, Wacky Water Wednesdays, and robot challenges. Residential campers will also produce their own camp movie, hang out with friends, have pizza parties, and more.

What sets Cybercamps apart from other camps of its kind?

  • It's the only computer camp that met the American Camp Association's 300 standards in health, safety, and program quality at all of its locations nationwide
  • It's the first and only youth summer program to be proven by independent research to significantly increase the higher order thinking skills of participants
  • It has a guaranteed 1:1 computer-to-student ratio
  • It has the lowest student-to-staff ratio of 1:5
  • It's the only program to offer an intensive Teen Leadership Program
  • It has more locations than any other computer camp in the country
  • It's the only computer camp to use Microsoft's XNA Game Studios Express in it's game design curriculum
