The Imaginary Worlds Camps are summer day-camps in which middle school students create computer animations using CMU's Alice software, or MIT's Scratch software. Both Alice and Scratch provide innovative drag-and-drop environments that let young people create sophisticated computer animations without hmp4ng to learn a programming language.

It's a lot of fun, a wonderful way to exercise your creativity, and great way to meet other creative people your age. While they're hmp4ng fun, students learn logical thinking, quantitative reasoning, problem-solving, and computing skills that are valuable in today's information age.

The Imaginary Worlds Camps are a part of the Academic Camps of Excellence, which are part of the Summer Camps Program at Calvin College.
