CAMP KATY STORY

 

Camp Katy was born in 2004 from the desire to bridge the gap between what schools are teaching our children about technology, and what they will need to succeed in the real world. It is the brain child of local Katy native and business owner Amber Strickland, a 15 year vereran in the computer and technology industry in the Houston-Katy area.

While researching local and national summer camps for their 3 children, Amber and her husband Shawn were put off by the overpriced, "web-tutorial" teaching style camps they found. Knowing they had more to offer their children than these large nationally owned and operated summer programs, the idea for Camp Katy quickly became a reality.

Camp Katy began with one camp a week, with Amber at the head of the class teaching computer basics, digital photography and computer building. Now, 6 years later, Camp Katy has expanded to include 6 individual classes per week and offers extended education to nearly 500 children by summers end.

This summer, Camp Katy will open its doors to more families than ever before. We hope you join us for one (or many) fun filled, technology packed weeks at Camp Katy.

This local Katy business was created by Katy resident & Class of '92 Katy High School graduate, Amber Foxhoven Strickland. A mother of three, she like other Katy moms struggled to find fun and engaging activities for her children during the summer. Frustrated by the level of technology being taught at school, the idea for Camp Katy was born. Beginning with just a couple of half day classes seven years ago, Amber has grown her camp to teach over 350 kids at the summer 2010 day camp session. New classes added this year, kids can learn 2D & 3D game design, computer literacy, computer keyboarding or typing, Microsoft office essentials, computer building, computer troubleshooting, computer network design, graphic arts and design, Photoshop, Photoshop elements, Light room, comic book creation, script writing, story boarding, acting, movie / film camera operation or cinematography, movie / film light setup, movie / film sound effects, movie / film sound, movie / film on location shooting, movie / film editing, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Flash 2D game design, Adobe Flash web widgets, web design with Adobe Dreamweaver, mobile apps, Apple developer, professional photography, professional photography trips, digital darkroom with Adobe Photoshop and Light room, photo journalism and so much more.
