Summer Camps
There are several facilities which host DigiPen Advanced Computer Science classes for high school students to take during their regular school day. These same courses are available to everyone to take during the summer for a fee.
These courses, intended for grades 8 and up, include Game Programming, 3D Animation, and Robotics. These classes focus on hands-on teaching philosophies. Each student is always working via a personal computer during class, and there is a “low student to teacher ratio.” Additionally, the summer courses provide students with the tools and environment to experience the gaming industry for themselves; there are frequent tours of portions of Nintendo of America and Microsoft’s Visitor Center.
Additionally, DigiPen hosts a “Junior Workshop” for students attending grades 5 through 7 located in Redmond, Washington. The junior level covers two tiers of game design and one tier of animation, which are designed to prepare students for the major classes intended for grades 8 and above by introducing children to less of the technical studies and more of the concepts and ideas behind these courses.
The Robotics Lv. 2 & Game Design class has been added since in the 2010 Summer Workshop.

Famous quotes containing the word summer:
“Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long
Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.
Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Monuments of unaging intellect.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
