Ask Slashdot: Tech-Related Summer Camps For Teenagers?

Posted by timothy on from the planning-a-head dept.

First time accepted submitter jcreus writes "I am a teenager (aged 14, though turning 15 before summer), and I've recently been looking for summer camps in the USA. My interests include physics, mathematics (to a lesser extent) and computer science (I already know several programming languages). However, I haven't been able to find anything really exciting. The difficulties I've found include the fact that most are general-oriented, whereas I'm seeking something specific. Furthermore, some are USA-student-only (and I'm European), and most computer-science oriented camps seem to be for non-programmers. What are your experiences with such camps?"

    There are just too many people in those places.

    I've been coding in C++ for 15 years and I still don't know it.

    I don't think even Stroustrup completely understands C++

    When I was 14, the only kind of camp I was interested in was one with hot girls. That isn't going to be a tech camp...
