Greetings!
With temperatures in the 90's, there's no question that summer is upon us. But kids at icamp are beating the heat with cool projects (and air conditioned space), making everything from video games to summer fashion designs and original animated movies. Seats are still open at icamps across Greater Boston; visit our online schedule or call us at 617-395-7527 for camp dates and towns. You can see footage and interviews from our first week of icamp this summer on our Facebook Page.
