Starting in 2000, BigByte has sent a select group of students to Oregon, U.S.A. to take part in a life-changing summer camp run by the Delphian School. With approximately 300 students attending each year from across the globe, the Delphian School's Summer at Delphi program is designed to challenge young people in and out of the classroom and help them discover that their potential for success is unlimited. The wonderful instructors seek to impart on students a love of learning and the ability to apply their knowledge to the real world. Part of what makes the experience so special is Delphi's approach to learning. 

Students work independently in a structured classroom while their educators supervise and assist – guiding, providing resources when requested, and motivating when necessary. Key to their success is a step-by-step study guide called a "checksheet" designed to ensure students possess a practical understanding of each subject and give students ownership of the learning process.

On weekdays, students participate in Afternoon Camps. Students choose one camp to participate in per week, either continuing with their favorite camp or trying something new every week. Each week of each camp is different than the next, so students can expect a fresh and new experience however they choose to mix up the camp choices.

Maker Camp

Explore a world of hands-on creation! You will have the opportunity to use not only your hands but your mind on imaginative and inventive projects such as making and testing a plasma gun, building and launching wooden boats on our pond and creating a Da Vinci bridge!

Space Camp 

Come aboard! You and your flight crew will embark on a journey of fun, science, creativity and adventure. This is a hands-on, creative, fast-moving and fun adventure! Use our 720-acre campus as well as our high-tech labs and makerspace. Come away with your own helmet, space suit, rocket, and more.

Outdoor Adventure Camp

Build shelters out of forest brush, campfires without matches, bridges with ropes and rafts from logs. Hike on the 720-acre campus and learn how to find treasure hidden deep in the woods with nothing more than map and compass. Learn how to recognize which plants to avoid and which are edible, and how to shoot arrows into 3D archery targets lurking off the trails. 

Ceramics Camp

Learn the basic techniques of ceramics, including hand building and using the pottery wheel in a fun and relaxed environment. Create simple clay forms and experiment with surface decoration and glazing techniques.

Sign up to reserve a place for your child this summer!
