Stimulating Imaginations at iD Tech Camps

April 12-18, 2007

“Of all the many camps my son has attended, iD Tech Camps is by far the best,” says Connie Ryan. “As an educator, I’m extremely impressed with the quality of this program.” This summer, join parents like Connie and send your child to iD Tech Camps where they learn the latest technology with instructors who make learning fun. iD Tech Camps offers weeklong day and overnight summer technology programs for ages 7-17 at 50 prestigious universities nationwide in 23 states and Spain. Locations include the University of Central Florida, the University of Miami, and Emory University.

Create 2D and 3D video games, experience game modding with Battlefield 2142^TM from Electronic Arts, improve your gaming skills with the Gaming Athletes course, build VEX^TM robots to compete, design websites with Flash® animations, film and edit digital movies, create your own comic book with digital photos, learn programming and more.

With one computer per student and an average of 5 students per staff, students are given the attention they need to excel and complete a project by the end of the week. Activision, Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, Clickteam, DigiEffects, GarageGames, Beyond Virtual, HP, Intego, Logitech, THQ, Microsoft, Red Giant Software, RedOctane, Roxio, SmartSound, Symantec, Wacom, Western Digital, and others have partnered with iD Tech Camps to raise the bar in technology education.

But that’s not all. At UC Santa Cruz there is a Surf & Tech program where students spend half the day creating a video game or designing a website while the other half surfing. At Stanford, students engage in Sports & Tech where half the day is spent playing tennis, golf, fencing, or TaeKwonDo. Additionally, teens can travel to Spain for our Documentary Filmmaking program or participate in iD Gaming Academy for an intensive 3 weeks of game development.
