Millions of children in the United States go to summer camp. Some go to play outdoors at traditional
camps in the woods, in the mountains or on a lake.
But families now have many choices of specialty camps. These can be in the middle of nature or a big
city. Specialty camps offer young people the chance to learn about different subjects.
In technology camps, one subject that children can learn about is video game design. They learn how
to use computer programs to create games of their own.
One program that teaches video game design is called Cybercamps, located at the University of Maryland.
Children can learn how to design their own virtual worlds to set their video game in. Then they program their
own rules and objects into the game.
Cybercamps also offers courses in robot building and web design. A recent story in the Washington Post
described how one child made a robot that could sing a song. Another made a robot that could follow a black
line drawn on a piece of cardboard. Also, children can learn how to make web sites. One child made a site for
Pokemon, one of his favorite cartoon shows.
Kids-N-Technology is a day camp offered in several American cities. In the past twenty years, the number
of day camps in the United States has grown by almost 90%. Still, more than half of all camps are overnight
camps. But the American Camp Association says, over all, the most popular length of time for kids to attend
a summer camp is one week or less.
