Computer Programming with AI Summer Camp
Our week-long, immersive computer programing with AI summer camp is designed for rising high school juniors and seniors who want to explore the future of technology and discover whether a career in computer programming or data science is right for them. During camp, students will use Python alongside AI powered tools to solve programming and data science challenges as part of a team. We’ve forged an authentic experience that will take students from idea to implementation in the span of a week. The camp features opportunities to connect with LVC alumni in computer and data science, gain exposure to relevant software, and work hands-on with projects that reflect real-world applications.
In the summer of 2026, the camp will take place June 21–26.

There is no formal registration deadline, but when the program is full registration will be closed. Because the number of spaces is limited (to facilitate closer collaborations between students, faculty, and guest speakers), it is advised that registrations and payments be submitted as soon as possible to secure a slot.

The cost of all activities, classes, and meals is included with camp tuition, but campers may wish to bring money with them for bookstore purchases or souvenirs.
Campers will live in a college residence hall with Camp Counselors. Camp Counselors are current mathematical sciences majors at Lebanon Valley College who have been selected by the Camp Director based upon their expertise in the computer and data science, as well as their maturity and experience mentoring younger students. The dormitory will be locked at all times, Lebanon Valley College campus safety officers are on duty 24 hours a day seven days a week, and the Camp Director may be contacted at any time by camp counselors.
Parents/guardians will be contacted in case of any injury or illness to their child. In emergency situations, the safe transport of campers to the nearest hospital will be ensured.
