Apple Announces Free Summer Workshops for Kids


Apple has announced a series of free workshops at its retail stores targeted at children ages 8-12. Known as Apple Camp, the program consists of four three-hour workshops targeting such skills as movies, music, photos, and presentations. Workshops are offered in the latter half of July at most Apple retail stores, although not all locations will be offering all four workshops.

Participants are limited to two of the four sessions and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Apple will be provide all necessary equipment and sample media, although participants are welcome to bring their own media and equipment if they desire.

Pre-registration is required, and many of the sessions have already been booked solid, with some offering positions on wait lists while others are closed entirely.

Harkens back to the summer programming camps offered through schools and a non-profit called I.E.R. back in the early 80's in the Chicago area. Lots of kids learning BASIC on Apple IIe's.

This is more of a light version, though focusing on apps, not programming.

Is this program new?

I was at the apple store for an interview the other week, and they told me about it as if they'd been doing it for years

They have had this for a few years now. They're just promoting it a little more now I guess.

Having been a parent in a class where a kid was dropped off..... i can only hope they enforce this.

I'm bummed they are full - i had been forgetting to check on them. My kids enjoyed them immensely 2 summers ago. Gas prices kept us home last summer - i was hoping they could do one this summer.

oh well.....

So, announced this morning, and camps already full?

Apple doesn't want to sell too many new Macs, I guess...
