CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Our 2018 camps at Boise State University campus provide extensive resources, technology experts, and a 1:8 student to facilitator ratio enabling students to develop thoughtful and complex projects. Providing overnight camps on college campus in dorms invites youth from rural areas to participate in a college readiness experience not available anywhere else in Idaho. We offer scholarships for underserved students and transportation to and from camp for families outside the greater Treasure Valley area. It is our intent to reach those from rural areas so cost and transportation will not be considered an obstacle for students applying.
Our camps are based near our headquarters in Boise at Boise State University campus and provide overnight (4th-11th) and/or day (2nd-4th) experiences on the beautiful, prestigious college campus with housing in the dorms and meals on campus. Students explore, reflect and create with technology (STEM) in areas of their own interests during camps. Courses include: Moviemaking with iPads and Game design.
Outside of class time we will be balancing learning with plenty of outdoor activities that will continue to challenge and excite our students while also making sure that they are exposed to a variety of experiences. For example: Activities with the UnBound library, Maker Lab, Discovery Center, Engineering department tours and Jump Time!
