This might be of interest to any computer geeks/whizzes out there...
It's the International Computer Camp 07 - it's going to be in Helsinki Finland next summer (think TROLLS, FATHER CHRISTMAS and SAUNAS...). Anyone who is aged between 14 and 21 can go to this camp from anywhere in the world (about 20 countries are involved). It's non-commercial and non-for-profit.
At the camp you get to do loads of cool workshops - on technology (Internet radio broadcasting, audiogame tournaments, GPS, programming, Linux, tactile technology, podcasts, sound editing and mixing). Other workshops are on drama, music, dance, culture... you choose which workshops you want to do. The rest of the time is spent doing cool leisure and cultural excursions.
If you think this might be for you, then drop me a mail or chat to me on msn (libby_hopton@hotmail.com) - there's a website (aimed at people from the UK) with lots of information (www.looktechnology.org.uk/activities.html). If you're from outside the UK, still feel free to ask as I probably can help you or put you in contact with someone who can.
I'm one of the organisers - I organise for groups and staff to go to the camp from the UK as part of the charity LOOK. I went to the camp myself as a participant 6 years ago and had a really great time.
Hope this is interesting to some of you!
