Summer Camp 2026 – Program Overview
This year, Fort Washington United is excited to offer two primary program tracks:
STEM (Robotics) and Art (Physical & Digital).
Students will choose one track for their week or program.
Our STEM program focuses on robotics, including both foundational systems and advanced AI-enabled robots. Students may enroll in individual weekly robotics camps, where they will learn coding fundamentals, build and program robots using LEGO SPIKE Prime, and complete structured challenges.
For students seeking a more advanced experience, we offer structured 4-week and 8-week Advanced Robotics Programs, which follow a progressive curriculum and allow students to work with more advanced systems.
To better understand the advanced robotics platforms used in this program, please see the example below:
In addition to robotics, students may choose our Art Track, which includes both physical and digital art. Students can participate in individual weeks or enroll in structured multi-week programs designed to build toward completed work and portfolios.
All campers also participate in martial arts training, academic enrichment in math and reading, weekly field trips, water park outings, and Friday presentations.
