SUMMERTECH AT PURCHASE COLLEGE, SUNY Purchase, NY On the campus of Purchase College, SUNY, SummerTech has offered the most complete summer technology camp experience designed for rising 4th graders to rising 10th graders since 2002. SummerTech offers weeklong continuing courses in Java, Python, and Web coding, Animation, 3D Modeling, Film Editing and more. Each class is taught at a 3:1 student to teacher ratio, which gives campers the best opportunity to learn at their own pace while working closely with smart, hard-working teachers. SummerTech has earned a reputation of having the most effective and rigorous coding classes for children offered anywhere. “Our data over the last five years shows that a camper attending three weeks of SummerTech, which is 45 hours of coding lessons, can reach a college sophomore coding level,” says SummerTech academic director Matthew Baptist. Aside from the academics, SummerTech offers elective classes, outdoor sports and recreation, arts and crafts, a phenomenal social scene, and of course, our famous nightly gaming tournaments. Each day at SummerTech is an event and each week has its own themes and flavors. Built into SummerTech’s model is a leadership program that begins at a camper’s summer between 9th and 10th grade. Any veteran camper is offered a counselor-in-training week to display their work ethic and team player skills so that they may acquire a Junior Teacher position in their following summer. Almost all of our staff are former campers who have risen to the top to become leaders and teachers and give back the experience they received as campers. SummerTech is offering five individual weeks starting June 25th, 2017. Camp is designed for you to attend any and as many weeks as you choose. You will never repeat your work; our curriculum is built for the individual. We will accommodate you! Most importantly, SummerTech provides an inclusive, warm, and welcoming atmosphere where everyone is accepted for who they are. We understand you because we are you. Nothing is more vital to us than your happiness and comfort while you’re with us at camp. Registration is now open at www.summertech.net or 1-866-814- TECH (8324). Our founder and operator, Steven Fink, will take your calls and emails and give you personal service to get you set up for the best summer ever.
