Camp sessions include areas of STEM, culinary, arts and enrichment. These camps are perfect for campers who want to test the waters before fully diving into the deep end. Campers will meet new people, learn from knowledgeable instructors, and make new friends all while taking pride in learning new skills. Make sure to check out https://cpccsummerexperience.com/ for the full list of summer camps.
The Services Corporation at Central Piedmont Community College has hosted CPCC Summer Experience (previously known as STEM Summer Experience) for the past five summers and the offerings have only expanded each year. Summer camps include half- and full- day camps at four Central Piedmont locations. They have camps for elementary through high schoolers and have recently expanded their programs to rising 1st through 3rd graders.
Here is a list of the hottest camps for the summer that are sure to keep your camper cool
Lego® Films and Stop Action
Do you wish your LEGOs could come to life? Now they can! Design a Lego world of your own using stop motion film and make your favorite characters a reality. Use your favorite mini-figs to create a short film with your friends, re-create scenes from the LEGO movie, or bring your own dreams to the screen. Campers can bring in their favorite LEGOs, action figures, dolls, or figurines from home; all other equipment is provided. Student-created films will be available on a password-protected website to share with friends and family. Campers will work in pairs or teams for most of the program.

All writers will refine their formal writing skills through the use of our class- based strategy. Students will then use these pieces to relay main ideas and key details in a visual format. Our activities include: non-fiction scrap-booking, a movie/book poster series, and digital comic book creation.
