2001 Camp Information

You might want to check out the extensive Camp Photos. Also, you can view pictures of the girls and the Favorite Links and Websites they created.

The camp was held from June 18 until July 12, Monday through Thursday. The campers were in teams of about 10 girls - ages ranging from 10 to 13, from all over the area. Each team had a counselor, a Wilkes student who stayed with the team all day as the team went from one class to another. In the classes, campers worked on projects in smaller groups of 2 or 3 or 4 (depending on the class).

The faculty was from Wilkes: Dr. Barbara Bracken, Dr. John Harrison, Dr. Anthony Kapolka, Dr. John Koch, and Mrs. Peggy Sullivan.

There were three classes:

Robots (Real and Virtual) -- Bracken and Sullivan
Web Pages, Multimedia and More -- Koch and Harrison
Computer Connections - Kapolka

In these classes they got to:

Program, design and build robots
Design web-pages, a multimedia production, and a simple computer game
Make connections between computers and other devices, learning how different kinds of things - information, pictures, music, etc. are stored in computers and transferred from one place to another -- including transferring an image to a T-shirt!
