I will admit to been a bit biased in the way that I taught there for a summer, and I must say that this camp is so amazing. What we taught the kids to do and the software we used was above and beyond anything out there i had seen. Where we using real-life experiences and technology's to develop some cool and detailed games. Now they are using XNA for xbox 360 development! I wish I could learn that at camp but im too old :(
