Check back in March for information about next year's camp Welcome to the 2008 Robot camp information page. This year, we are planning an exciting camp! Our theme is Transformers: The Robot Camp, and we will be learning about how robots are 'morphing' our world. UPDATED CAMP INFORMATION FOR 2008 Hi robot campers! I am excited about our camp next week! The camp will begin on Monday morning at 9:00 in Anderson Hall at Georgetown College. We will collect the remaining camp fees and sign the necessary paperwork at the beginning of the camp day. Camp ends at 11:30 each day. We will be providing a small snack. We will have permission forms to fill out before camp begins. If you would like to fill them out in advance, I have attached them to this email. It is necessary that a parent or legal guardian sign the paperwork. To find Anderson Hall, follow these directions:

Andrea Peach Misc information... First year campers will learn the basics of building and programming robots while completing daily challenges. Second and third year campers will use their prior skills to participate in a Lego League-type Challenge. And, of course, camp will end with the 'battle of the bots' which will pit your engineering and programming skills against other campers. Who will be the 'Last Robot Standing'? This year's Middle School camp (rising 6th graders - completed 8th grade) will be held from July 21 - 25 from 9 - 11:30 at Georgetown College. The cost is $100 ($75 for Georgetown College students, faculty, staff, and alums), and a $25 non-refundable deposit is required to save your space. Limited scholarships, based on need, will be available. We also have room for a few camp alumni (9th-10th graders who completed at least two years of camp) to come back and be junior leaders. If you are interested, please contact us at the addresses below. The only cost for being a junior counselor is the optional T-shirt fee! If you are interested in signing up for Robot Camp 2008, please send the your name (and parent/guardian name), address, phone#, e-mail address, age, grade, school, and whether you would be a beginner (never attended a robot camp) or experienced (attended at least one year of a robot camp or participated on a Lego-league team), your T-shirt size (adult sizes S-XL) along with your $25 deposit, to Robot Camp 2008 If you need more information, please e-mail Dr. Andrea Peach (apeach0@georgetowncollege.edu) or call 502 863-7050 Feel free to browse pictures from previous years (click on buttons at top of this page) to see some of the cool activities!
