Adventures in Computing Camps were the brain child of Nevin Buconjic, President of Digital Adventures, back in 2000 when he was completing his Computer Science degree at Algoma University College/Laurentian University.

While tutoring at an elementary school (grades 1-8), Nevin was struck by the lack of interest in computers at the school. "The kids were not being challenged or even introduced to the possibilities computing and technology held for them," states Buconjic.

The first thing he did was show the kids how to make their own web pages. "I just couldn't believe the difference in attitude from that point on...I had students wanting to spend their lunch and recess breaks working on their websites", he continues. This was the beginning of Adventures in Computing, as he saw the need for a fun and exciting technology-driven program in the community.

Upon graduation, Buconjic approached Algoma University about the idea, and with their full support, the camps began on campus in the summer of 2001. Since then, the camps continue to grow in popularity, as well as growing in content and material -- including web design, and video game design!

Each summer over 90 children and teens (8-16) attend camps learning skills such as video game design, web design, and fundamental computing skills. We are Sault Ste. Marie and Northern Ontario's most successful, and innovative computer and technology camps.

In 2007 Adventures in Computing camps became a divison of Interactive Minds Inc.
