This camp is led by Mr. Carlson and Mr. Snider and is designed to give you many opportunities to explore some of the less common, non-wind instruments in the Band. Campers will get to play the Drum Set, Piano, Drum Circle, Drum Line, Tower Chimes, The Gong, Xylophone, Marimba, Bells, Bass Drum, and many other percussion instruments. No prior music experience is needed!
  
  

  This camp is designed with safe distancing in mind. Students will be able to make music together from their own “music stations” equipped with the various instruments needed. No wind instruments will be used, only drums/keyboard/mallet percussion. We hope you will be able to join us for a great week of music!

The Vex IQ robot will be used in a competition on the last day of camp using the driver-controlled remote control in alliances with other camp teams. Students will be operating the robot to maximize points using the game for the Vex IQ challenge for the upcoming season. The Vex drone, command base, and mechanical loader will be for the students to take home.

   

  In addition, students will receive an hour of ROBOTC graphical programming instruction each day using Vex IQ virtual worlds and cs2n.org from Carnegie Mellon. The students will earn badges as they complete each of the programming levels.

  In the App Makers summer camp students learn to program mobile apps using App Lab from Code.org. App Lab is a web-based environment for students to make simple apps. Simply drag and drop to design your app, write code for your app with JavaScript blocks or with text, then send the app to a phone in seconds!

   

  App Makers introduces students to the field of computer science and the concepts of computational thinking, through the creation of mobile apps. Students apply all the knowledge and skills they have acquired to design, create and share a mobile app of their choice by the end of the week.
