FlexiPass is held indoors at the PSA1, and locations with lunch and snacks included in the fee. A ratio of no more than 10 campers to one counselor is maintained at all times. FlexiPass kids are grouped according to age level for safety and fun. Camp runs Monday through Friday, June 6 th through August 19th, from 9am-4pm each day.

If parents want to get an idea about these tools, visit code.org/learn 19
and madewithcode.com to see a few samples, but please do not prep your children and make the camp a boring experience! Just like Scratch, this camp is for beginners no programming background is needed to attend this camp.

While it has a friendly interface that appeals to young children, it has tons of functionality! You can do 2D animations of objects, create cool drawings, make a character sing a tune, develop an interactive game (control it with various inputs including voice!) and even narrate a story with images! Go to scratch.mit.edu to check out the tool and lots of examples. We will use a specific list of examples shown in www.utdallas.edu/~jeyv/scratch. Scratch uses drag and drop programming which means no syntax errors program is always ready to run! It enables the young learners to focus on the logic instead. This camp is for beginners no prior experience is required.

It uses drag and drop programming, which means there is no room for syntax errors! You can convert your idea to code quickly and see it in action! You can code 3D animations or games with ease. Alice comes with a powerful graphics library that minimizes coding effort. Visit www.utdallas.edu/~jeyv/alice to preview the content. Since Alice does require careful drop operations, we do not recommend Elementary students to take Alice directly, we recommend them to do Scratch first. 20

No worries. MIT App Inventor enables you to use drag-and-drop mechanism to put your creative ideas to work and make Android apps. It will be helpful to bring an Android phone to test your apps. While dragand-drop mechanism is easy to get used to, you will come across lots of components that need to come together to make a complex mobile application. We encourage Elementary and middle school students to complete Alice camp first. PSA1 August 1 5 PSA1 Ages 11 13 8:30am 11:30am $195 UTD CoDrone Codrone is an innovative Arduino based drone kit. It can be used to take your coding skills literally to the sky! While the drones can be exciting, coding them can be overwhelming, so we encourage the campers to complete another coding camp (Scratch, Alice or JavaScript) first before coming to camp. We will start with the simple activity and introduce the complexity and sophistication in steps. Campers will be expected to type a few lines of code for every hands-on activity. If interested, parents can review the lesson plans @ http://community.robolink.com/codrone.

PSA CAMP POLICIES PSA is accredited by the state of Texas as a licensed child care facility and must follow strict standards before allowing any child into our camps. Each child needs to be registered in MySam, and have filled out all online forms, specifically the CAMPER INFORMATION FORM, before they can attend camp. PSA camps operate June, July and August; Winter Break and Spring Break. Camps are operated at various times between 8:30am-4pm. Before & After Care Opens at 7:30am and Ends at 6pm Appropriate Clothes for Camps Please wear appropriate clothing for an active camp day. We require tennis shoes for court play; no flip flops or sandals. If your child does not wear appropriate shoes, we will have to call you to bring some to PSA, as we cannot let them play activities due to the fact they could hurt themselves. Jeans are not something we recommend for play during the camp day. Check In, Check Out and Late Pick-Up Policies 1. Before Care check in will not start prior to 7:30 am as we have to assure the facility is prepared to receive children. 2. You are expected to pick your child up no later than 6:00 pm from After Care as PSA is a recreational game facility starting at that time. 3. Parents are given a 15 MINUTE GRACE PERIOD to pick up kids from camp. 4. After that, a $1 a minute late fee will be charged, payable to PSA. 5. Camp check in will start no earlier than 15 minutes prior to the stated time in the camp brochure for your child s camp. 6. Add-On 1/2 day and Before and After care passes can be purchased to extend your child s camp day at any time, so if you find yourself running late feel, free to call PSA and we can help you out. 7. We highly recommend an adult bring the child into PSA for the morning check-in. 8. There will be computer stations set up for all camp check-ins during the summer. 9. If someone other than the child s parent is responsible for pickup, PSA requires a note from the parent with that person s name. 10. PSA will not release a child to an unapproved person. 11. No child will be allowed to walk out of PSA to a waiting car. 12. Supervisors and staff will stop children who are seen walking out without a parent to make sure they are leaving with one. This is for their safety. Communication 27 PSA communicates mostly through email. In emergency cases we will make phone calls. Notices are also posted on the Bulletin Board inside the Gym. Discipline and Guidance Practices Our understanding is that children participating in competitive situations will not always react in the proper way. We look upon ourselves as teachers and mentors to these kids and will work with them to teach them how to better react to certain situations. It is up to the camp director to decide if or when a child should be removed from camp for disciplinary actions.
The campers must respect the counselors and other campers at all times. We will deal with indiscretions on a one-on-one basis. Actions that would be deemed removable offenses from camp on a temporary or permanent basis may include: hitting, biting, bullying, wandering away from their group without permission or not listening to counselors or staff on a continual basis. 1. Discipline must be individualized and consistent for each child, appropriate to the child s level of understanding, and directed toward teaching the child acceptable behavior and self-control. 2. A counselor may only use positive methods of discipline and guidance that encourage self-esteem, self-control, and self-direction, which include at least the following: a. Using praise and encouragement of good behavior instead of focusing only upon unacceptable behavior b. Reminding a child of behavior expectations daily by using clear, positive statements c. Redirecting behavior using positive statements d. Using brief, supervised separation or time out from the group when appropriate for the child s age and development, which is limited to no more than one minute per year of the child s age. e. There must be no harsh, cruel, or unusual treatment of any child. The following types of discipline and guidance are prohibited: 1. Corporal punishment or threats of corporal punishment 2. Punishment associated with food, naps, or toilet training 3. Pinching, shaking, or biting a child 4. Hitting a child with a hand or instrument 5. Putting anything in or on a child s mouth 6. Humiliating, ridiculing, rejecting, or yelling at a child 7. Subjecting a child to harsh, abusive, or profane language 8. Placing a child in a locked or dark room, bathroom, or closet with the door closed; and 9. Requiring a child to remain silent or inactive for inappropriately long periods of time for the child s age. Texas Administrative Code, Title 40, Chapters 746 and 747, Subchapters L, Discipline and Guidance Electronic Devices We do not recommend or encourage kids to bring electronic devices to camp. With that said, we do understand that many of these children carry cell phones today as a way to communicate with parents when they are not with them. We also realize that these mobile devices also serve as music players and game devices also so they can keep a child s attention for a long period of time. Realizing this we ask that you talk with your child about keeping their device in a secure bag if they feel they must have it with them. We also will only allow these items out during certain parts of the camp day would include before camp begins, rest period and after camp ends while they wait for a parent or guardian to pick them up. The idea of being at our camp is to get away from the electronic devices and to just be kids playing with other kids. We understand the kids enjoy visiting with others about games they have and it is a social ice breaker, but we require the kids to be responsible for their gaming system. PSA will not assume any liability for lost or damaged items. We do recommend once again bringing some sort of carry bag to place any personal items in and to clearly have their name marked on the item. Food and Nutrition PSA Provides: 1.
