Both students who participated last year as well as new students who want to try robotics but are not necessarily committed yet to the competitive club should sign up. New campers will meet from 8:30 am-11:30 am on camp days.

Advanced Camp (Incoming 5th-8th graders) | 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Advanced campers are incoming 5th-8th graders who are committed to being on a competitive team next year. The focus will be on advanced building strategies. Students will be teamed by how they will compete during the 24-25 season and will be focused on getting a first draft of their competition robot ready for a mini-competition on the last day of the camp. Advanced Campers will meet from 1:00-4:00 pm.
