Register Now for 2016 Media Summer Camps

Each summer, the Department of Media and Information offers media camps for middle and high school students. These camps are pre-college exposure programs for students interested in media and technology topics, including game design, 3D animation, web design, digital cinema and TV production.

Each camp includes five full days of interactive and intensive instruction with MSU faculty and staff, resulting with a showcase of student work on the last day.

Program Director Luke Kane says that more than 80 percent of students who participate say they have an increased interest and proficiency in technology as a result of the camps.

During the three weeks of camp in 2015, the Department of Media and Information hosted 231 students in 12 different courses.

Registration for Summer 2016 is now open. For the early bird discount, register before Feb. 29.

This summer, a new Audio Programming course will be offered to the high school level to teach students how to compose their own digital music and audio.

Students may participate in day-only instruction or choose to stay overnight as a visiting residential student.

The day-only camp includes all instruction, instructional materials, computer facilities, all daytime activities and supervision. Students will receive a lunch meal plan through university cafeteria services. Camp hours run 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

The Overnight/Residential option includes all the features of the day camp and more. Overnight lodging for five nights (Sunday-Thursday) as well as breakfast, lunch and dinner meals throughout the week are included. There will be night recreational activities and overnight chaperone supervision.

Media Camps kick off in July and run for three weeks:
