Students who are interested in fashion or game design.
If you are interested in summer camps that give creative-minded students an opportunity to explore a career through classes taught by industry professionals, hands-on projects, and company tours. Both camps create an environment where students can discover what role suits them best and whether they truly want to explore their chosen field as a career before committing time and money to the pursuit after high school. If you are concerned about whether you can be successful doing what you love, whether it's artistic, technical, or even business-oriented. That’s why we want to show students and their parents that they’re both multi-faceted, rapidly growing industries with roles and opportunities they may not know about yet.

Students who are interested in fashion or game design.

Both camps create an environment where students can discover what role suits them best and whether they truly want to explore their chosen field as a career before committing time and money to the pursuit after high school. If you are concerned about whether you can be successful doing what you love, whether it's artistic, technical, or even business-oriented. That’s why we want to show students and their parents that they’re both multi-faceted, rapidly growing industries with roles and opportunities they may not know about yet.
