Greetings!

We're parents too. And we know how hard it can be to pick and plan your child's summer activities. But we hope we can make those decisions a little easier by helping you get to know us. See our online Schedule, come meet icamp staff and check out some of our cool technologies at upcoming camp fairs. Directors and instructors answer parent questions, and kids get their hands on some of our awesome technologies. Been to icamp before? Stop by and say hello! Also look out for upcoming icamp Open House Workshops, where parents and kids can make cool mini-projects. Stay tuned for details.

Leonid Tunik, Regional Director.
