STEM Camp for Kids and Teens to Start 12th Season in Rosemont
Emagination Computer Camps, a national operator of summer technology camps, prepares to open its 2017 camp season at Rosemont College.
Rosemont, Pennsylvania – Parents and grandparents who are looking for a fun and educational summer camp experience in the greater Philadelphia area for their children and grandchildren can register for the 2017 summer camp season at Emagination Computer Camps, hosted at Rosemont College which begins its first session June 18.
Emagination, which is in its 12th year of operation in Pennsylvania and 35th year overall, delivers a program which balances high quality technology learning with the activities and life-long benefits of a traditional summer camp.
During each two-week camp session, campers choose three technology workshops from the 26 the camp offers, including new workshops like 3D Printing, Augmented Reality, and Motion Graphics Programming.

“Emagination is unique compared to other technology camps because we allow our campers to choose more than one subject to study during a session,” said Craig Whiting, owner of Emagination Computer Camps. “If they want to study virtual reality, robotics, and game design, they don’t have to go to three different camps or attend three different sessions, they can do it all here.”
Each camper also takes a recreation workshop which gets the campers outdoors to play field games like capture-the-flag, dodgeball, or ultimate frisbee. Campers also have the option to go swimming. Additional recreational options are available after lunch and during the camp’s evening program.

“Structured and unstructured playtime, as well as socialization, are key components to healthy childhood development which you can’t get sitting in front of a computer,” said Whiting. “That’s why we incorporate it so heavily into our program; we want to offer the most well-rounded summer camp experience that we can.”
Emagination also offers a specialty program for teenagers. In Emagination Programming Camp, teens 13 – 17 learn how to program with C#, the world’s most popular programming language for creating Windows applications. This two-week STEM program is balanced with daily recreation and a full evening program for overnight campers.
