In the summer of 2002 high school aged campers attended weeklong Computer Aided Design (CAD) camps at the University of Maine. The camps combined computer instruction with challenging recreation activities requiring teamwork and interpersonal skills. One goal was to attract both girls and boys to this technically oriented camp. The camp was successful at attracting twenty-five percent girls. Other goals included supporting campers' feelings of competence and being part of the group. Camper feedback from girls and boys clearly indicated that these two goals were met through the program.
