A day at camp

Same rhythm, new build

Every day follows one rhythm, so campers know what comes next and can keep their attention on the bench.

  1. 8:30 a.m.

    Step 1: Sign-in

    An adult on your list signs your camper in at the lab door, and a counselor walks each group to its bench.

  2. 9:00 a.m.

    Step 2: Briefing and checklist

    The group reads the day's checklist aloud and picks a role: reader, builder, tester or recorder.

  3. 9:30 a.m.

    Step 3: Morning block

    Build or code, depending on the week. Counselors ask more questions than they answer.

  4. 11:45 a.m.

    Step 4: Lunch

    Lunch from home in the cool lab room, with water bottles filled.

  5. 12:30 p.m.

    Step 5: Outside or indoor time

    Shade and the field in the cooler weeks, indoor games on the hottest days.

  6. 1 p.m.

    Step 6: Afternoon block

    The morning's work continues: test it, break it, fix it. Fridays swap this block for launch day.

  7. 2:30 p.m.

    Step 7: Show and tell

    Each group shows what changed since morning, and the counselors help them write it down for Monday.

  8. 3:30 p.m.

    Step 8: Pickup

    Counselors walk campers to the door, and an adult on your list signs them out.
