Since 2003, PlanetBravo's Techno-tainment Camp has been allowing kids to explore their love of computers and technology, while still ensuring plenty of fun in the sun! Campers at Techno-tainment Camp work in either one-week sessions on chosen projects, or two-week Expanded Studio Sessions, where they will use new ideas and techniques to enhance their first week's work.

PlanetBravo has several locations throughout the greater Los Angeles area, and camps are available for students entering grades 2-9. Courses taught by our skilled staff of counselors include Video Game Creation, Movie-Making, 2D and 3D Animation, Web Design, Programming, Robotics and more! Each week, all 30 campers will be assigned to their own computer, and with a minimum of 3 counselors per week, every child will get the individual attention they deserve.

And to top it all off, this award-winning camp is hundreds less than any other technology camp!

VisionTech is a non-profit; family owned and operated San Francisco Bay Area Company. We are dedicated to bringing a variety of technology classes to kids in a nurturing environment right in their neighborhood schools. We have taken great steps to create lesson plans that are structured yet flexible enough to encourage creativity in young minds. Robotics, 2D & 3D Game Design, 3D modeling & Animation, Build a PC, Web Design and Digital Film Making are a few of our 2006 summer camp courses available to campers. In all of our camps, students will work one-on-one with highly talented instructors who enjoy working with kids. All students will have access to individual laptops. Carefully planned lessons and emphasis on hands-on learning are a few of our unique features that make us a very popular tech camp in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Digital Media Academy offers separate courses for kids, age 9-13 (at all its campus locations), called Digital Media Adventures. Like DMA's teen courses, the hallmark of Adventures is its superior instructors. Other summer computer camps, by necessity, hire young people barely out of high school as instructors. At Digital Media Adventures, we have a more sophisticated approach. Our master instructors have a level of expertise you simply will not find at other computer camps. They are real-world industry professionals, working in the fields of 3D animation, video production and game design who also have a passion for teaching kids. Our instructors are older, have more experience, are more professional, and are paid more than those at other computer camps...and it shows. With a typical instructor-to-staff ratio of 5 to 1, kids get lots of attention. Choose from the following weekly sessions:
Adventures in Robotics
Adventures in Filmmaking & Effects
Adventures in Game Design
Adventures in 3D Game Design Extreme
Adventures in Web Design & Flash

Kids typically stay 2 or more weeks, combining topics for a more rounded experience or taking the same course a second or third time to explore more advanced techniques. Kids staying on campus are housed separately from teens, grouped by gender and age, and supervised by our dedicated Adventures live-in adult counselors.

A Well Rounded Experience for Your Child

At Digital Media Adventures, we strike a balance between in-class learning and out-of-doors fun. We recognize that kids need to move! We take breaks for recreation in the morning and afternoon that may include soccer, ultimate Frisbee, volleyball, basketball, scavenger hunts and other crazy outdoor games. Evenings and weekends are packed with more organized outdoor activities with weekend trips to amusement parks, Lazer Tag facilities, video arcades and more. And of course, our adult supervisors ensure a fun and safe time for everyone!
