2008 Summer Camp Registrations are now OPEN!
Visit our camp page at www.mainerobotics.org/camps.html
We are offering more weeks in more cities this summer! We expect to have over
300 campers state-wide! Campers in Portland and Bangor are able to use their
summer camp coupons from the United Way, unfortunately we weren't able to get
added to the Lewiston program due to a freeze on adding new programs. We are
expecting to be in the area though, so keep checking the website!
