DIGIVATIONS FAMILIES, DEMIGODS & XGENERS:
On behalf of DIGIVATIONS, we are pleased to announce that in July we celebrate the return of NASA Award Winning DIGIVATIONS STEM + ARTS + HUMANITIES + KINESTHETIC INNOVATION & LITERARY CAMPS & PRE-COLLEGIATE ACADEMIES, on the campus of Cornell University, June 30-August 3 and on the campus of UCLA, August 11-24.
Innovation & Literary Camp Demigod for ages 11-13 includes camphalf-blood.org, campfandom.org & harrypottercamps.org and DIGIVATIONS XGENS Academies is geared for ages 13-17. We are pleased to announce our exquisite and robust facilities on the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, NY in Upstate New York. Students stay in the historic Mansion, steps away from the heart of the campus - the Slope. Transportation by Charter Bus from NYC for additional fee. This summer will feature DIGIVATIONS XGENS’ and its 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Institute featuring 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.” Model UN Simulations, Training and Roleplaying will prepare students to participate in DIGIVATIONS XGENS Model UN Delegation at various MUN conferences, including Yale, Harvard, Cornell, etc.
Our son, Jacob Berman, 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
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

Housing, Meals, Lessons, Merchandise
The Mansion on the Slope at Cornell University
Residential and Commuter participants pay for the unlimited meal plan when they register. We take food allergies, intolerances and other special dietary needs seriously. Our culinary teams are trained on safe preparation of allergen free meals and we are passionate about finding safe options for our students. We label for the major allergens (soy, egg, milk, gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish and sesame) that are inherently found in our menu options. We also identify areas of high risk for our students with food allergies including foods produced in shared oil, and at high risk for cross contact including baked goods and ice cream. We have allergy awareness signage throughout our dining hall to help identify areas of high risk. If you or your child is sensitive or allergic to an item that we do NOT label for, or if Cross Contact is a concern, please email dr.steve@digivationsxgens.org at least 14 days prior to the participant's arrival date so that we can provide appropriate options for you/your child.
