TIC Summer Camp seeks to create an inclusive and encouraging environment that provides a healthy mind and body balance through collaboration, creativity, and growth.
Kids, ages 7 to 15, come to TIC to explore technology, but they also get personal attention, confidence building, and the opportunity to test the reaches of their creativity. Our unique model allows campers to exercise both their mind and body with equal half days of technology program and athletic activities! How we execute the combination of activities provides a balanced, powerful end product, that is not only about gaining knowledge, but the quality of the journey and the memories and skills created along the way.
At TIC, kids learn by having fun!
Technology Options!
From computer programming to multiple multimedia programs there’s something for every camper!
Offerings at ALL locations: Offerings at SELECT locations:
Personal Growth!
TIC also offers a leadership training program (CIT Program) and a female-identifying empowerment group (GROW) to help our campers achieve the personal growth they’re looking for during the summer. In addition, we have expanded our Extra Cost Option offerings, held during the Athletics portion of the day, to provide additional opportunities for special activities.
