Beginner to advanced students ages 7-17 enroll in these fun and challenging, weeklong, day and overnight summer camps held at 60 prestigious universities nationwide (see below).

Our University of Michigan programs offer students a chance to experience college life and explore the campus of one of the top universities in the country. The primary focus is to teach each student which skills and knowledge are important for success on the ACT and SAT exams. Students learn which factors to consider when deciding on schools and majors. Cultural opportunities include trips to various museums and planetariums, as well as movie outings. In addition, students can take advantage of some of the finest sports facilities anywhere. Since the students are housed together in university dorms, they will have the opportunity to share ideas, and to study and interact with their peers.

Jafferson Computers & Software is a family owned business that has been operating since 2002. In our computer summer camp, students engage in hands-on activities from beginners to the advanced level. Our lessons inspire them to think out-of-the-box solutions for today’s technical challenges. The quality of our program exceeds the expectations of our students and their parents. We set the standard for innovative and stimulating technology education, creating long-term and wide-ranging benefits for all children. Our mission is to provide hands-on quality technology based summer camps and classes in a fun, challenging, and enriching environment.
We are accepting registration for our 2010 Summer Computer camps. We will be holding 2010 summer camp at our Packard Rd location. We work with the students from amongst them, rather than standing at the front of the classroom and giving lectures. The small class size allows students maximum individualized learning opportunities. If you are interested in registering for the camp please go to Jafferson.com or contact us at 734.975.7263

Ring of Steel Action Theatre and Stunt Troupe is now in its 22nd year of bringing theatrical combat to Ann Arbor and SE Michigan, and they are pleased to host week-long day camps each summer. Campers are given the opportunity to learn the beginnings of a multitude of theatrical combat arts, with an emphasis on safety and individual comfort. Activities in a single day may include swordplay, high falls, mini trampoline, whip, lightsabers, and our gun safety workshop. Martial arts techniques, martial acting, historical swordplay technique, and dance are all woven together to create an effective and breathtaking performance. Because there is no competition, our co-ed atmosphere encourages cooperation rather than competition, and campers are divided by age to ensure they have a supportive peer group. Only two other camps like us in the nation!
