About the Camp3D printing and design is a fast growing technology field. In this camp, campers will get to create 3D computer aided designs of common objects and pieces out of their imagination. The 3D designs created on the computer will then be printed on the 3D printer! From your head to a physical object in a short amount of time! Participants will work collaboratively to create and improve their designs by giving each other feedback on their work. They will learn the design process and will be able to interactively make changes and retest their designs. Campers will be provided computers and other hardware to use at camp. Campers of all levels will be challenged to create something appropriate for their age and ability level. Possible projects include creating containers, cars, board game pieces, artistic pieces, action figures and many more. Campers will be given flexibility in choosing the objects they will create. If final projects are not printed by the end of the week, they will be mailed home promptly upon their completion. After lunch each day, the campers will participate in different non-computer related activities.

• Selecting, picking up and carrying various objects• Navigating around obstacles and finding its way through a
maze• Playing music• Boogie-ing around the dance floor
In addition to participating in these and other fun hands-on projects, campers will have the opportunity to go on robotics related field trips, watch robotic movies, participate in recreational games and swim. Robotics Camp will culminate with a robotics symposium through which students can share the results of their work with friends and family.

About the DirectorDrew Tanzosh joined the Worcester Academy faculty in 2011 and has instructed students in mathematics, physics, and astronomy. Prior to joining Worcester Academy, he taught at various New England independent schools. Mr. Tanzosh holds a master’s from George Washington University.
About the CampThe Worcester Academy Science camp is designed to excite, engage and motivate young people interested in science. The camp allows children to develop their own investigations of interesting scientific phenomena. Sample student investigations might include:
• What is the energy content in food? (Chemistry)• What factors influence feeding rate in Tetrahymena? (Biology)• What are the forces responsible for launching a water rocket?
(Physics)
Participants will pursue these and other exciting research questions in the newly renovated Kingsley Laboratory building. They will have fun developing and conducting experiments and will learn how science applies to their everyday lives. The students will also learn the fundamentals of experimental design. For example, they will learn how to state a testable hypothesis, collect, organize and graph data. They will recognize the importance of replication and the inclusion of a control group. They will understand the importance of effectively communicating their results. The camp will conclude with a scientific symposium where students will share their findings with family and friends.

About the Camp
Worcester Academy Performing Arts (WASA) interweaves theatre, music and art in a performing arts program for boys and girls ages 7 to 14. Each two-week session concludes with performances of original musical plays, the focal point of our arts classes. Our revolving repertoire of 15 shows allows us to present different plays each session. Campers develop skills in major elements of musical theater: acting, movement, singing, instrumental music and scenery/props. Each session is limited to 45 campers, divided by age into three groups. Expert faculty work with counselors to address the individual needs of our campers. All campers are involved in two plays, in one as an actor/ singer/scenic artist, and in a second as an instrumentalist in the pit band. Our approach gives campers experience in all aspects of the productions, letting them develop their strengths and explore new directions.

About the CampThe Worcester Academy Sports Camp takes great pride in providing instruction and play in all sports, while not specializing in any one. With a tradition of more than 55 years, the program allows girls and boys ages 6 to 14 to develop their interests and skills in many different areas. Each two-week program features swimming, arts & crafts, sports films, Olympic day and special sports clinics. Regular instruction includes football, basketball, baseball, track, soccer, softball, floor hockey and other sports-related activities.
SwimmingInstructional swimming is provided daily. Each camper is evaluated at the end of a two-week session and is awarded a certificate of achievement. The swimming program is carried on rain or shine in the F. Harold Daniels Gymnasium indoor pool. Every aspect of safety is considered in the swimming program, which is one of the most important skills taught at our camp.
Arts and CraftsThe craft program is organized to give campers an opportunity to do some creative work with their hands in various arts and crafts.
