Design Something New this Summer with Thinnox Design & Technology Camps

Design something new this summer: an animated short movie, a brand new video game; a digital recording of your band's masterpiece; a short video film; a portfolio of graphic images; an illustrated book. Whatever your dreams are - to be a film maker, musician, designer or inventor, remember, everything has a little bit of Design to it.

Thinnox Summer Design Camps are between 2 to 4 weeks duration. The programs offered between June 21 and August 27 are primarily for creative individuals in age categories: 10 to 14 and 15-18. However, we also have some specialized programs for creative 6-9 year olds. Take a look at the calendar and pick the program that's right for you.

The typical camp day starts at 9:00 am and ends at 4:30 pm. During the camp day, besides formal instruction in a chosen area, campers are involved in organized team activities through the day that is sure to test their imagination, creativity, reflexes, team spirit and organizational skills. All programs are well rounded and include elements of graphic design, sound design and visual arts. Some programs also come with an introduction to the world of computers.

Thinnox Summer Design Camps are a unique combo of fun and serious creativity. Our class sizes are restricted to just 6 participants. Friendly and knowledgeable instructors make sure your program goals are achieved; you work and have fun. In short, we guarantee an experience that will last you through the entire year, if not your entire lifetime. And if, after attending the Camp's day one, for some reason, you don't feel the same, we promise full tuition refund. So try it out.

Pay attention to your dreams. Design something new this summer.
