Parent Info for Camp CAEN

Camp CAEN presents an exciting opportunity for your child.  This is a place where magic begins and brings together people and technology.  Campers come together in their common interests, and also connect with U-M engineering student mentors. This year, our staff also includes several PhD candidates in computer engineering. Many students return to camp year after year.  In fact, several of our former students are now instructors!

We strive to make the camp experience as rewarding and enjoyable as possible for you and your child.  Being directly affiliated with the U-M College of Engineering, you can be assured that our academic programs meets with the high standards of the University of Michigan. With this in mind, we take every necessary precaution to ensure your camper's safety and well-being. This includes instruction that addresses the concerns of Internet safety for young people.  For more information about Internet Safety for your child, refer to the Michigan Department of Information Technology and Internet Security's web site specifically aimed at Security for Kids.

Residential students are housed in Bursley.  An experienced Resident Advisor oversees the activities as well as a crew of counselors to supervise the students.  Students are supervised at all times!  In the dorms, there is about a 6-8 to 1 ratio of students to counselors.

The University performs background checks on all of our staff. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call the Camp Office, or email the Camp Director, Ann Gordon directly.
