Post-camp programs to expand and hone new skills will also be offered.

- Be introduced to the MAC Operating System, iOS Software Development Kit, and Xcode.
- Learn iOS application development processes and techniques while working on personal projects.
- Test, refine, and improve upon their new developer skills.
- Create an application of their own design that will be deployed on their own iPhones, iPods, or iPads.
