Summer Camp Session Information
This week-long day-camp will introduce students to the basic structures of the Python programming language. We will cover variables and expressions, lists of values, using functions, strings, branching, looping, and basic graphing. We will learn programming while exploring the natural world, all with an eye on encouraging the development of character and virtue. Below is a summary about our camps.
