"This year we have new camps such as Design Mania and Dance Craze as well as Kids in the Kitchen and Kids Compute and we are looking forward to having lots of kids on campus," said Patricia Brock, director of continuing education.

The new camps are designed to incorporate a variety of subjects in one camp session.

Design Mania allows students to experience science, math, design and personal creativity through experimentation. In Dance Craze, students will create their own dance steps, choreograph their own routine and put on a major production.
