What Happens At Camp?
At Robotics Summer Camp at Canyon Crest Academy, students start on a journey that can continue for the rest of their lives—and it goes way further than just technical know-how. Campers develop skills in teamwork, collaboration, planning, and creative problem solving, as well as friendships and memories that last a lifetime.

Hands-On Experiences with Competition-Level Robotics.
Throughout the course of the week, students work directly with the same robotics systems used by middle and high schoolers around the world in global robotics competitions.

Engaging Challenges. Exciting Competition.
Students build and program robots to complete interesting and complex challenges. Then, they design their own robots to compete against their fellow campers, enabling them to learn new perspectives and problem solving.

Help when they need it. Freedom when they don't.
Our four-to-one student to counselor ratio that ensures that whenever campers need help with a challenge, they can get immediate, personal access to advice, assistance, and expertise.

Programs
Each week, we offer each of three levels of camp to cater to students in grades first through ninth.
Insight
for incoming 1st – 4th graders
Campers learn the fundamentals of physics and basic engineering principles through building simple machines with VEX IQ robotics kits. Throughout the week, we'll work our way up to building a robot that can be controlled with a joystick!
Curiosity
for incoming 5th - 6th graders
Whether your student has never built a robot before or has some experience, this is the place for them! We’ll show them basic mechanical design and programming using versatile yet easy-to-learn software and robotics kits. Using VEX IQ robotics sets, campers design, build, and program robots to complete complex challenges.
Opportunity
for incoming 7th - 9th graders
Our upper camp is aimed at students who want to start working in larger groups to create more complex and incredibly powerful robots. While still accessible for beginners, we use more advanced VEX Robotics robot sets that enable campers to go beyond and build awesome robots.
