LEGO Robotics I & II   $260: Ages 10–13 (Limit 12)

LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT "The Mayan Adventure" has hit the world by storm, giving you the ability to build your own robots and program them to perform all types of actions.  What kind of robots you ask?  How about five exploratory robots, used to explore the newly discovered tomb of an ancient Mayan king?

You are along for the ride with Evan and his archaelogist uncle as they explore a Mayan pyramid complete with traps and treasures.  Using a variety of NXT robots, the archaeology team is able to move deeper into the tomb towards the secrets of King Ixtua.  But beware of the traps!  The pyramid's design has successfully deterred unwanted visitors through the centuries, and your team will need to be careful and alert!

You will learn and use a design methodology that will teach you about the new motors and sensors that your robot can use.

Can you help Evan and the team of explorers navigate through the old pyramid and discover King Ixtua's tomb?  Read the stories, examine the environments, and build and program the robots that will allow the team to move closer to the secrets of The Mayan Adventure.

Spend each morning at the excavation site and every afternoon enjoying camp activities.  Be a part of this rising trend and see how math, science, and computer technology can be fun!

Plan to register early, this camp fills fast!

^(3.) North Cascade River Expeditions requires that a RELEASE FORM (click on "RELEASE FORM" to download) be completed prior to attending this camp session.  Please read this document CAREFULLY and then sign and return it to our office.  Participants will not be permitted to participate in the whitewater expedition without a signed Release form, there will be no exceptions.
^(4.)  Wetsuits will be provided - however, we will need to know the camper's size prior to the camp session.  Please contact our office with this important information.

DRESSING FOR COMFORT AND SAFETY ON A WHITEWATER TRIP:

On all whitewater expeditions you are required to wear a "farmer john" wetsuit (will be provided).  Your wetsuit should be worn over a bathing suit.  Your wetsuit becomes your first layer of clothing.

Because your wetsuit does not cover your arms and shoulders you need to bring additional clothing to wear over your wetsuit.  On very warm days, just wear a t-shirt over your wetsuit to protect your arms and shoulders from sunburn.  Please bring a good waterproof sunblock.

We suggest you do not wear cotton t-shirts, flannel shirts, or cotton sweatshirts.  Cotton soaks up water and provides no insulation when wet.

For colder days, you should wear a paddling jacket.  This can be a nylon windbreaker, a rain jacket, a mountain parka, or a *specially manufactured paddling jacket (*optional - not required).  The purpose of the paddling jacket is to shed water and keep your insulation dry.  On those cooler days, a paddling jacket is the most important layer of clothing after your wetsuit.

DON'T bring your good camera ... pick up a waterproof version of a throw away model.
