Our half day sports program offers a physical challenge to balance the mental stimulation of the technology half day. At TIC kids learn by having fun!

Sports include soccer, basketball, volleyball, frisbee, flag football, gymnastics; extra cost options available in drama and tennis.

Fun Bot Lab

Coed Day Camp

Fun Bot Lab is a unique robotics and media camp for boys and girls focused on having as much fun with robots as humanly possible. We start with the basic Lego and NXT systems and then modify them, add hardware, submit them to complex challenges all the while teaching important skills in math and science. In the afternoon, we turn to creative digital media formats to create images, music and videos of our experiences.

In the past, students have created animations with Flash, mixed music, created panoramic photography, created commercials, explored DC, made claymation movies and of course - designed, built, programmed all manner of robotic inventions. We have a fun and enthusiastic staff that know their stuff and want to share it with our campers.
