Computer CampA Computer camp is a summer camp which focuses on computer instruction. There are several computer camps in the US. These camps usually operate on college campuses during the summer months due to the availability of housing, computer labs, and dining facilities. Campers are usually between 8-18 years old. The first computer camp, National Computer Camps (NCC), was launched by Michael Zabinski in a junior high school in Orange, Connecticut in 1977. Today, NCC has four camps coast to coast. Zabinski, a professor of Physics and Engineering at Fairfield University, said "Back then we were the only ones using computers in a summer camp setting and nobody had ever done it before, we were in uncharted territory." Several companies now operate computer camps, many of which have multiple campuses. Camps teach courses in a wide range of subjects such as computer game design, computer programming, video production, A+ and Network+ certification and software applications including networking, web animation, Flash and graphics. Although computers are the main focus, camps also offer sports and recreation programs.
