Hmmm. The campers are “all guys ages 15 to 20,” USAToday reports. Though this all sounds a bit sexist, the good news is, they’re using New York University’s Center for Advanced Digital Application’s “cutting-edge facilities to learn the techniques behind best-selling digital masterpieces such as Doom, Quake, and Madden NFL Football.” Typical day at camp? “Campers will arrive each day for a 9 a.m. warm-up of playing time-tested analog games like chess or cards, followed by a discussion of the elements that explain the games’ persistent popular appeal. Lights-out could happen more than 14 hours later, if they choose to work in the computer lab from 9 to 11 p.m.” Campers can choose from three majors: art, design, or programming. We hope there are camperships for this elite-sounding program that costs more than $5,000.
