With STEM activities, shooting sports, crafts, games and more Day Camp is that traditional camp excitement you are looking for with some modern fun added in! Day and Twilight camps are for Scouts and non-Scouts alike!

Be Your Baby’s First Doctor! Students will roleplay the key responsibilities of a pediatrician and learn how to care for a baby. Participants adopt their own adorable plush and learn how to change, bathe, burp, swaddle, and bottle feed a baby. These future doctors will explore the different parts of the brain and spine, perform a physical exam, administer first aid, and discover the functions of the heart and lungs.

Visual, “block” based programming has arrived, and in this experience campers will be able to get a simple app up and running on their iPhone or Android mobile devices within 30-60 minutes of their first camp experience. But don’t let the quick start fool you – MIT’s ingenious App Inventor supports the creation of complex, high-impact apps. This block-based visual programming environment combines sophisticated logic with a great visual environment easing young learners into application development. Upon completing this camp the student should • Complete multiple apps ready for use and deployment on their own mobile devices (or mom and dad’s!) • Acquire logic and decision making skills • Gain an understanding of app development processes and the “architecture” required to build apps (client / server / development environment / deployment / networks, etc) • Imagine games, code games, play games and have fun with programming! No prior programming experience required – basic keyboarding ability and nothing more. Camp attendees must bring their own computer; Windows or Apple / Mac work equally well. A mobile device (phone or tablet) is advisable, but apps will work on a simulator without the mobile device.

Artificial intelligence has exploded and the skills needed to master these technologies have never been more in demand and productive for learners at every age. In this camp students will learn about AI (generative and traditional), and tightly related topics in Machine Learning (ML) on multiple levels; conceptual, ethical and logical (actually coding algorithms to demonstrate how Machine Learning analyzes data to produce results). This camp introduces students to one of the most exciting new technology frontiers in the past twenty years. Students will first spend time understanding exactly what AI, ML and Generative AI are, and discuss a brief history of how we arrived here. Next, we will introduce basic skills and models related to AI/ML, including how to break down complex problems into simpler sub-tasks. Then camp attendees will code algorithms to generate results, using plots and other data visualization tools. This exposes students to basic analytic coding (no prior experience required). Finally, we will apply this foundational learning to experimenting with generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Bard and others. Upon completing this camp, the student should • Have a clear understanding of fundamental concepts related to AI, ML, Generative AI • Have established a knowledge base for extending their learning and development via further coursework or self-directed study in the areas of AI and ML • Have gained direct technical experience with fundamental skills such as problem analysis, through coding solutions and presenting results (data visualization) • Have gained/enhanced their direct technical experience with Generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT and Bard. No prior programming experience required – basic keyboarding ability and nothing more. Camp attendees must bring their own computer; Windows or Apple / Mac work equally well. iPads/tablets will not work Students must have registered for a Google ID prior to camp.
