iCAMP was started in 2018, and five years later the family and team have grown. The program was co-founded by Lulu and Brendan Manley. Its mission is to feed children’s hunger to learn and to teach powerful skills through physical and digital creative tools, with a pledge to provide a STEAM enrichment experience for both parents and children.

All instructors have experience in large group settings working with children, have a background in project-based learning, and are recruited based on their experience and passion for teaching. A staff to camper ratio of 5:1 or better is maintained. Charles has been teaching art and design at the K–12 grade levels since 2012 and holds an MFA in Media Design, an MEd in Curriculum and Instruction with a minor in Adolescent Literacy, and a BA in Liberal Studies with strong concentrations in Studio Art, English, and Music. Erica teaches physics, mathematics, and technological design to high school students and is a former engineering professional. Adrian Drake has spent almost three decades in environmental protection and education, has worked as an environmental lobbyist and educator with thousands of students from across the tri-state area, is currently a fourth grade teacher at Sag Harbor Elementary, and has a Masters in Literacy Education.

iCAMP provides before and after school programming to many independent and public schools and offers after school classes at partner schools in New York City and Philadelphia. The program also offers very small virtual class sizes of three or four students. Campers showcase passion projects in a gallery walk each Friday. The program has a no visitors on campus policy for in-person summer camp, including no tours and no families, and drop off can be done in shifts based on last name.

Equipment is wiped down between sessions, and students can wash hands in between workshops. Lunch is not provided on campus for staff or campers. Parents are asked not to get out of the car for pick up or drop off. For the in-person summer camp context described, instructors will be in masks and gloves and temperatures are taken at the beginning of the day, and there is a policy to refund 90% if the state cancels, iCAMP cancels, someone in the immediate family tests positive for corona, or someone at camp tests positive.

One parent, Rebekah, stated that iCAMP is not like other STEM or STEAM camps, noted that the program has real teachers who get kids excited about learning, and shared that her daughters were excited to return each day and that she extended from one week to five weeks. Another parent, Erica, said that iCAMP sparked a passion in STEAM for her daughter, described the location as beautiful with enthusiastic and organized staff, and highlighted the Friday gallery walk. Pamela said she loved the curriculum, that her kids came home excited to talk about their projects, and that the staff were hands on and dedicated to helping children learn. Keri shared that her son loved the summer camp, mentioned the smart and kind staff and ambitious projects, and described the camp as a special day camp and unique experience that changed how she plans her son’s summer programming.
