Attention Parents: This great opportunity will be fun and educational for your child, but it is not an advanced college computer science course. Campers will be exposed to many computer applications and will gain tips on using what they already know. Our goal is to enhance, encourage and facilitate their computer usage for both in and out of school activities. Examples of topics presented will be: Internet searches,designing a webpage using HTML, making graphs and pie charts, newsletters, cards and other desk top publishing, tips on word processing, spreadsheets, story writing, school work; mechanics of the computer: how to upgrade, repair, or install hardware; printers, scanning, digital photography and videos.
