• The All-Arts, Sciences + Technology  Camp  http://web.uncg.edu/dcl/web/allarts_technology/ is sponsored by UNCG’s Division of Continual Learning, is a weeklong, residential summer camp for children ages 7-15. Designed to give quality instruction in the arts and sciences, the camp also includes recreation, values exploration, and citizenship components.  Each camper picks a two-hour morning class studying something they’re interested in and a two-hour afternoon class in a different area of study. This year, the camp is also offering full-day Film Challenge and Lego Robotics courses for older campers that will cover both morning and afternoon sessions. The courses are exciting and engaging. Campers are divided into grade groups (2nd-5th & 6th and up) for academic course work and other activities. Hands-on curriculum encourages problem solving and critical thinking and is interwoven with the study of the work and the lives of master artists and scientists.  In addition to the academic course work, the campers experience dorm life on a college campus. They get to participate in a range of activities that fosters personal and social development, encourages physical activity, and offers a chance to have fun – lots and lots of fun!
