Apple Camp will take place each week from June 20 through August 31, with a new two-hour format for families. Participants in Apple Camp will be able to create a digital comic book about protecting and celebrating the planet through the "Art Lab: Comic Book Adventure With Your Family" session.

"We can't wait for campers and their families to ignite their imaginations as they learn from our team members and each other during Apple Camp," said Deirdre O'Brien, Apple's senior vice president of Retail + People. "This special program has provided a space for connection and learning in our stores around the world for the past 20 years, and we're thrilled to be hosting these experiences again."

Apple Camp attendees will use the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil to take photos and then add drawings, speech bubbles, and stickers to design their own stories.

Apple designed Apple Camp for children aged 8 to 12, with kids able to participate alongside their parents or guardians. Sessions will be available both in stores and outdoors, and devices are provided. Along with in-person sessions, Apple is also providing a downloadable Camp Field Guide that includes 20 at-home activities for the iPad.

Glad to see these coming back, but they really need these for seniors too!! I sold an elderly neighbor my old MacBook Air two years ago and while she's coming along with it, I think being around others would benefit her learning style. (She's about 80).

Thank you for your comment. I'm 69 and retired from "I.T.". I worked in and out of the industry before it was called "IT". Punch cards, tape, and then the marvelous 8" floppy to the amazing 5.25 floppy. I designed networks. Does anyone remember BNC network cables?
However, we become "Luddites" as we get older and the frequency of software and hardware updates can become overwhelming for our ability to adapt. It's frustrating! If Apple produced an online series focused on seniors it will help those of us who could use a little more help acclimating to the new annual OS/iOS features.
