[game_edu] Summer "Camp" Programs?

[Roberts, Scott]

There's also DePaul's School of Cinema & Interactive Media Summer Academy.  We've been running it for 5 years.  During the week high school students work both separately (learning either programming/scripting or Maya modeling) and also together in teams as they build games in Unity.  14 is possibly a little young for it, but I think we've had high school freshmen attend.

I recently had a query from a former student. She has a younger sister who wants to get into game development. Besides the usual advice, she asked about summer "camp" programs. Does anyone have a handle on that sort of thing? There are some local organizations here that do things, but I wonder about those programs I don't know about. Or if there is some really great one run out of... ?

So, know any great summer game development camps? This particular person is 14, but don't let that stop you from making suggestions for programs targeted at younger as well.

[Yes, there was a brief thread on K12 back in September, but...]
