Campers of similar programming experience and knowledge will team up and be equipped with a computer and LEGO® Mindstorm NXT kit.

To further connect this camp to real-life application, campers will participate in a field trip to a Green Bay area business using robotic technology in their business practice.

Building tomorrow!

A tradition of music!UW-Green Bay’s Music Camps have worked with generations of young musicians to teach, make music and have fun on a campus that has long-prided itself on its strong music programs. The Middle School Camp provides an opportunity to participate in “X-Band,” our beginners band, or the upper-level “Middle School Band.” The camp is structured for newer musicians with a focus on learning techniques, musicality and having fun in the process! The High School Camp focuses on developing each individual musician in order to contribute to the larger group. Sectional rehearsals are much more advanced. In both camps, rehearsals make up the majority of the instructional day. Master classes give campers intensive instruction on their instrument or voice. Campers can personalize their schedules by selecting from a wide array of activity classes. The camp culminates in a Friday evening performance in UW-Green Bay’s iconic Weidner Center for the Performing Arts.

Be dynamic. Be you!
