enjoyed this camp very much. I learned a lot
and felt that I made new friends. The camp was well
run and I felt it was set at a good pace. The food was
good and the Maine Bound programs were fun!" - Madison

2009 Creative
Design at CAD Camp
A Week of Creative Fun, Teamwork, and Recreation
Resident or Commuter Campers
Entering grades 9-12
July 5-10, 2009
Come learn, play, have fun, and engage in Creative Design at CAD Camp! Try new challenges at your own pace! Learn about computer-aided design (CAD) by designing something uniquely "you!" CAD Camp lets you mix your interest in design and computers with the fun of making new friends.
Campers arrive Sunday afternoon, and are met by faculty and Maine Bound staff members to settle in. Friendly and fun Maine Bound staff members live with the campers. Girls and guys are housed in separate wings of the dormitory. Campers choose their meals from the variety offered at The MarketPlace in the Memorial Union. Days are split into CAD instruction and recreation. Campers experience some of the latest in CAD design software for 3D modeling. The computer classroom in Boardman Hall is air-conditioned and has modern computers and comfortable seating. Campers get lots of individual help from our team of CAD faculty professionals. Campers have a great time creating interesting computer models and exchanging ideas with their new CAD Camp friends! They leave with new computer skills and career training – and they have so much fun along the way they’ll want to learn more! Campers head into the wilds of the University Forest for the ropes courses, to the Maine Bound Adventure Center for some climbing wall experience, and to the Stillwater River for canoeing. The staff members at the Maine Bound Adventure Center provide campers with loads of challenging, non-competitive activities. There is no pressure to do the ‘high wire’ act for those not up for that rush of adrenaline. Maine Bound provides a fun, relaxed atmosphere to experience teamwork, trust and lots of interesting activities.Experienced faculty members from the Mechanical Engineering Technology program provide camp CAD instruction. Staff members of the UM Campus Recreation Maine Bound Adventure Center serve as counselors.
