Computer and Data Science Summer Camp
Our Coding Camp is a week-long intensive program for rising high school juniors and seniors designed to help them decide if they’re interested in computer programming and data science careers.
During the camp, students will learn and use Python to solve programming and data science problems as part of a team. We’ve forged an authentic experience that features interaction with computer and data science alumni, and an introduction to relevant software and content.
In the summer of 2024, the camp will take place July 7–12. During the week, students live on campus in a residence hall with Resident Assistants who are current LVC students. Students eat their meals in the Allan W. Mund College Center.
Lebanon Valley College values inclusion and diversity. We encourage underrepresented students to apply; financial aid may be available.
All camp applicants will automatically be considered for a scholarship.
Please contact Stephanie Blanda, assistant professor of mathematical sciences, at blanda@lvc.edu regarding any camp questions.
