Electrify Your Game!
Note: Camp registration will open on Monday, March 16 at 9:00am. Sign up to be notified once new youth camps are available.
Throughout this hands-on industrial arts camp, campers will dive into the exciting world of electronics, woodworking and graphic arts while bringing their own “Operation” style board game to life!
Along the way, campers will master the basics of circuit design, explore cutting-edge tools like laser engravers and cutters and unleash their creativity to craft a fully functional game from scratch. This interactive experience blends technology, craftsmanship and fun for an unforgettable learning adventure!
Campers will engage in a mix of hands-on themed programming and guided recreation activities throughout the campus. Recreation activities include games and sports, creative and artistic projects, team building challenges and more. We aim to go outside at least once per day, weather permitting.
Campers are led through their days by experienced leaders from RRC Polytech.
