icamp is not your typical camp: it’s a unique combination of imaginative play and sophisticated technology made accessible to kids in grades 1 through 8. Campers choose a theme (a.k.a Adventure) and develop their own story. Our kid-friendly resources create unlimited possibilities that are sure to please any boy or girl.
What happens in a week of icamp
Monday morning starts with introductory activities to help facilitate a camp community of support and teamwork. Counselors review what campers can expect from their week at icamp. We do a game to get to know each other, give campers a tour of the space and equipment, discuss ground rules, and have a snack. Then campers pick an Adventure theme, and begin to plan their first project. Full-day campers will spend the rest of the day working on their projects with the help of counselor-led group lessons and one-on-one support.
For the rest of the week, campers go through several stages in their projects, from planning to scripting, building programming, shooting (video that is), and final production. Throughout the week, counselors will continue showing campers how to use various tools and providing one-on-one support. All individual projects are finished by the end of Thursday! Friday is a special day of games and a group project. Friday afternoon, parents are invited for the Project Showcase 1 hour before dismissal time (time varies slightly by location).
All campers take a break from their projects every 2 hours for group activities, games, and snacks. Lunch includes an hour-long recess outside (weather permitting), and each day ends with a group meeting and a game. All campers make a movie of their project and take digital projects home on their very own USB flash drive. The week ends with the Friday Showcase of final movies played for parents and a celebration of camper talents.
