Blue Ridge CTC's Information Technology Division Program Faculty will offer STEM-enriched education and relevant hands-on engagement activities to BCS 4th & 5th Grade students! The STEM camps will be held at the following locations:

• June 22-25: Orchard View Intermediate School
• June 29-July 2: Mountain Ridge Intermediate School
• July 6-9: Spring Mills Primary School

The schedule of events is as follows:

Monday: Google Interland – Online Safety & Digital Citizenship

Students will explore how to stay safe, smart, and kind online through interactive games in Google Interland. They will learn about protecting personal information, recognizing scams, and being responsible digital citizens.

Tuesday: Scratch – Interactive Storytelling & Game Design

Students will use Scratch to create their own interactive stories or simple games. They will also explore motion detection using a camera to make their projects respond to real-world movement, bringing their creations to life.

Wednesday: Raspberry Pi / Legos – Minecraft World Building & Robotics Programming

Students will rotate between building and exploring custom worlds in Minecraft using Raspberry Pi and learning the basics of coding through LEGO robotics. They will develop problem-solving skills while designing, building, and programming.

Thursday: Legos / Raspberry Pi – Robotics Programming & Minecraft World Building

Students will switch groups to experience both activities. They will continue building coding skills through LEGO robotics and expand their creativity by designing and modifying Minecraft worlds using Raspberry.

Theater Camp | June 22-25

Our Summer Theatre Camp is a high-energy, creativity-filled experience where students dive into fun theatre games, improvisation, and playful storytelling. Through supportive ensemble activities, campers build confidence, teamwork, and stage presence while learning to express themselves boldly. It’s the perfect mix of laughter, imagination, and “I can do this!” moments—both on stage and beyond.

Crafty Kids | July 6-9
Immerse yourself in creative exploration at our “Color Your Imagination” camp, where vibrant colors and endless possibilities await. Campers will paint rocks, design their own keychains, create lava lamps, make canvas art, and craft DIY cloud dough. With a variety of colorful materials and imaginative projects, students will unleash their creativity and make memories that shine as bright as the summer sun.

Hands-on fishing fun at Poor House Farm Park! Campers will learn about the fish and wildlife that inhabit our local waters while exploring a variety of fishing equipment and techniques. They’ll have opportunities to practice casting, tying knots, and using effective methods to catch fish.

Each day, campers will spend time fishing at Rickard Lake and participating in fun, educational activities focused on fishing and aquatic life. All equipment will be provided.

Campers should come prepared to be outdoors and dressed for the weather. Water, sunscreen, and hats are essential, and insect repellent is optional.

Warning: campers may get “hooked” on fishing for life!

This four-day exploratory camp introduces students to the Spanish language through cultural immersion rather than traditional instruction. Each day, students will “travel” to a different Spanish-speaking country, engaging in authentic experiences with art, food, music, movement, and play.
