Apple Camp, Day 1

Daddy heard all about it--somehow, somewhere.  But, the Apple Store in the mall in Short Pump hosts a 1 week "Apple Camp" for ages 9-(something).

Gracie had been interested in making videos and talked to daddy about showing her.  Well, these camps are apparently for showing kids her age how to use the programs and devices to become little filmmakers.

Well, we were on a waiting list to get in.  Then we weren't.

She was apprehensive at first (typical Gracie) since it was something new and unfamiliar, but she ended up having a great time.

All the kids got free t-shirts and name tags. I want to say there was about 15.  Then they passes out ipads to each kid and dove into the camp.

Thomas and I weren't allowed to leave the store, so we found a corner and hung out until Gracie was ready (1.5 hours later). Thankfully I remembered his phone and ear buds so he could stay entertained for  at least a little while.

When the "leaders" called all the campers and parents around in the end Gracie was beaming. She couldn't wait to film her video. She had a story board and she had made her own soundtrack using Garage Band during the morning's session.

I would say Day 1 was a hit!
