Advanced Computer Camp: iPad App Development

Camp Dates: June 16-21, 2013

Online registration

Purpose:
Mad Penguins? Words with Enemies? Temple Crawl? Are you the kind of computer user who loves to download the 300,000+ apps and wonder “Hey, how *do* they do this?” If you have programming experience (like one of our introductory camps), come to iPad App Development summer camp. Please note: We will not be doing Objective-C programming in this camp, but you will be writing native iPad apps.

Eligibility:
This camp is for students who will be entering grades 9 through 12 in the fall. You must have attended a previous Transylvania academic camp or taken some programming classes at your high school. If you do not have this background, please consider registering for our Introduction to Java Programming Camp.

The remaining $275 will be due upon arrival at camp. Applicants will be notified if they are accepted to camp by May 15. If you are not selected for the camp, your deposit will be refunded in its entirety.
