Kids learn best by doing. By weaving up-front instruction and demonstration with hands-on learning, Digital Media Adventures gives your child the tools to create a unique, personal project. From beginner to advanced and everything in between, there’s a place at DMA for your child. Beginners won’t get lost. The advanced won’t be bored. Your child will come home with a project as unique as he or she is – and the confidence to effectively apply his or her new skills.

Every student has his or her own state-of-the-art computer available during class time and evening lab time. Students can expect brand new or recently purchased Mac’s or PC’s and there is no computer sharing. Our DMA students say it best: “The equipment was top of the line.” In addition, we only use the latest versions of software like Adobe® Photoshop®, Dreamweaver®, Flash® and Apple Final Cut Pro®. Kids get excited knowing they’re on the cutting edge, learning the very same tools used by Web designers, game creators and Hollywood filmmakers.

We believe people teach people best. We also believe that energetic passionate instructors with several years experience are better equipped to lead your children than college or graduate students. We pay more for our instructors than other computer camps and it really shows. Knowledgeable college and graduate level teaching assistants will also be there to help every step along the way. At DMA, it’s not an either or – you get both – engaging teaching and personalized help.

Many summer computer camps say they allow kids to go at their own pace. What that really means is to maximize attendance, they use curriculum modules designed to accommodate a wide age range of campers. Students get help from instructors in getting started and then get assistance along the way when they get stuck. Kids are left largely to learn on their own. Other computer camps even use online tutorials.

We're not willing to cut corners. When it comes to instruction, at DMA you'll find only the best.

“I have never had such individual and personal training with instructors this knowledgeable!”

– David Harris, DMA youth

Each session is one week long. Students can concentrate on one topic in depth, building on their skills day by day. Students can sign up for the same topic for multiple weeks to create an even more in-depth project, or take multiple courses to explore different aspects of digital media to design a multi-layered project.

“We learned more in one week than we could have at any college course in a month!”
  – Keith Anderson, DMA youth

“I never thought I could learn so much in just one week.”

– Thomas Evans, DMA youth
