Adventure Chess
During this fun week Tim Tetrault, along with UCDS Summer Spark Series Director Chad Randol, will lead students to destinations of their choice to play chess. Each camper will get his or her own traveling chess set! We will hire a bus for the week, pick some cool place to go each day to play chess, explore and enjoy summer. This is a noncompetitive camp catered to beginning or recreational chess players. We are going to fuse the game of chess into the outdoors of the Puget Sound. No previous chess experience required.

Lego Robotics
Legos are on the loose. Spend a week building, experimenting and programming with the Lego NXT and RCX Robotic Systems. Explore a wide variety of construction methods while building amusement park rides, vehicles of all sorts, simple machines, manufacturing systems, intelligent homes, alternative energy sources, pneumatics and of course, robots. Students new to Lego Robotics can learn the basics, while advanced builders and programmers can tackle the inventions of their dreams. We have several hundred thousand sorted Lego pieces to build with, a library of the latest Lego idea books and access to hundreds of Internet resources. Each morning and afternoon session will begin with a short instruction/discussion session followed by several hours of open-ended discovery and investigation. On the last day of camp students will share their creations with family and friends before breaking them down and sorting all of the pieces into their proper bins.
