On behalf of DIGIVATIONS, we are pleased to announce that July 2-29 we celebrate the return of in-person NASA award winning Overnight Innovation & Literary DIGIVATIONS INSTITUTE which includes camphalf-blood.org, campfandom.org & harrypottercamps.org. We are pleased to announce our exquisite and robust facilities in the Finger Lakes in Upstate New York. The campus is conveniently located 50 minutes drive to Rochester, Ithaca, or Syracuse, NY; 4 hours from Boston and New York City. College shuttles are available to pick up your child at the airports. July 22-29 will feature DIGIVATIONS XGENS’ and its 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Institute and Accelerator have a mission to enable positive transformative impact through “opportunities that advance education, environmentalism, equity, food and water security, sustainable infrastructure, future of work with purpose and eliminate poverty and social injustice.”
Covid-19
DIGIVATIONS’ programs are robust, staffed by excellent leadership, academic faculty, staff and counselors, and will include holistically selected cohorts of outstanding student campers. Most significantly, all students, ages 9 and over, are required to be vaccinated, and tested for COVID prior to arrival. They will be able to enjoy fun outdoor activities on the campus, and also depending on CDC and various health authorities' guidances venture to external and unique natural environments. Please remember during registration to purchase individual registration cancelation insurance.
The Camps' are student centric featuring offerings where each youth will be able to pursue a wide range of interests as they learn and apply new knowledge as part of quests and adventures, and include, among other topics, the sciences (artificial intelligence, biology, chemistry, genetics, commercial space, quantum physics); the arts, including fine arts, music including composition and theatre; humanities (ancient greek history and language, anthropology, ethnography, linguistics, and creative writing); design thinking, physical, card, and board games such as capture the flag, D&D, Magic, Wizards Chess; and sports such as Quadball (aka QUIDDITCH) and GAGA.
Our son, Jacob Berman, is attends Cornell University. In this video, he describes why Camp Demigod is important to him and what he hopes to teach his fellow Demigods this summer: https://youtu.be/O09EhPcCHFs
Through DIGIVATIONS’ FUTURES Module designed to foster 360º growth and development of each person with a focus on key aspects of college preparatory education and future college and career planning, we enable youth and professionals to feel socially comfortable after being isolated during the pandemic. We explore their interests and comfortably guide them to a path that enables them to emerge as leaders expanding on all their talents intellectually and kinesthetically. Our NASA award winning programs open up exciting windows of interdisciplinary knowledge and opportunity which naturally motivates a connection between each person's interests and the broader world. They develop personal perceptions of how and why their lives matter, and how they can make a positive difference in their own community and the world. They become empowered to recognize that they can channel their own interests and motivations into making a difference at their age and beyond.
Thank you for the opportunity of allowing us to facilitate your children’s and teens' dreams and academic goals.
Warmest Regards,
Dr. Steven Lee Berman & Anne Deane Berman, Ph.D. & Jacob Berman

Colby (top row, second from the left) is a "reader, writer, and creator through and through. He has a fabulous imagination and creates characters of his own daily. He prides himself in being friendly and nurturing, particularly when other kids feel left out. He has a great sense of justice and equality and is a sensitive, empathetic soul. He wants to design new worlds via novels, computers, clay, theater, and video. He is the peacemaker and bridge builder. He looks after the underdog and aligns with the new kid. He is the imaginative, creative one who hums and wiggles and cannot stop moving." - Annie Arnoult, Colby's Mother
