Byte Camp:
2D Video Game Design
Creative Young Minds
Create your own wacky characters, cool game play and fun levels in your very own
on-line game! Students will start the week making short animated films, and each day
new programming skills will be taught to help them make the animations interactive.
The final project is a video game built from scratch that will go on-line and is handed
out on take-home USB sticks! Have a look at www.bytecamp.ca for hundreds of great
games from previous years! Lots of time during the week is devoted to outdoor activities
so that your child is fresh for new challenges.

Summer Fun With A Pocketknife

The purpose of this camp is to teach kids how to safely use a pocketknife to produce
simply whittled toys for themselves and others, and to really enjoy themselves in the
process. Beginning with demonstration and instruction, then hands on making of
projects with assistance. All materials and tools needed for the course are provided at
no extra cost. Students will learn basic knife handling and safety, and how to sharpen
a knife and keep it sharp. Over the 5 days students will make their own twig pen that
really writes, a rubber band shooter, slip bark wooden whistles, a boomerang, a flying
non-electric helicopter, hiking staff, and a space shuttle type airplane that really flies.
