Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

UPDATE: We’ve made the difficult decision to put Virtual Summer Camp 2021 on hold having heard from our community that this is a particulary challenging time. We will offer it again in the future and look forward to your participation. In the meantime, we hope to see you at our upcoming learning community sessions!

Virtual Summer Camp will take place from July 12-29 from Monday to Thursday of each week. The curriculum will focus on networks during the first week, on network management during the second week, and on peer exchange and practice during the third week. Campers can sign up for just the first two weeks or all three weeks.
