Our camp staff consists of highly-trained counselors and instructors, selected for their experience in teaching and curriculum development, and who really like to work with youth. The staff-to-camper ratio is approximately 1 to 5. Instructors have included college faculty and graduate students, public and private school teachers, and area artists and scientists.

Before the camp begins, campers are divided by age and gender into colony groups. A counselor is assigned to work with a colony throughout the week. Our colony groups are named after famous artists and scientists. By including artists and scientists in this way, campers learn about people whose contributions to art and science have made a significant impact on the world.

Part of the excitement of the All-Arts, Sciences & Technology Camp centers around the lively recreation program. Each day the campers participate in an intramural program that includes relays, volleyball, soccer, tug-of-war, basketball, and other sports. Campers also have daily recreation time when they can play a variety of sports and games or rest and relax with friends.

The All-Arts, Sciences & Technology Camp Firebrands Awards provides us with an opportunity to discuss values. By talking about a famous person and how a particular value influenced his/her life, we make the values more real for campers. Throughout the week campers and staff discuss the firebrands and perform skits in preparation for Thursday night's ceremony. At the Firebrands Ceremony, all campers are honored for achievement in a particular quality of citizenship. A plaque is presented to each camper stamped with the symbol that represents the award. Campers bring their plaques back each year as they work to receive all the brands represented by the firebrands.

On Friday morning, the All-Arts, Sciences & Technology Camp Festival will be our concluding activity. Parents are encouraged to attend the festivities, which begin at 9:00 am with an Olympic-style parade. A multimedia show of the week's activities follows the parade. Following the slide show, parents will have the opportunity to see their children's work and meet the instructors. The program will end at 11:00 am, and the campers will be dismissed.
