DIY Camps is a new app that DIY is going to release soon. Right now, they are in the process of testing, so some of the members on DIY are participating in the first group of camps. You may have noticed a sudden increase of DIY mods (I think it's four more - Sunny Bee, Monster Tea Party, Al Bear, and Cardboard Froggies), and they are the new camp counselors for the camps. The email gave the "sneak peek" information about the first few camps they will be running: Stop Motion Animation Camp, Science Camp, and Acting Camp. The app will pretty much be a summer camp, but year round! You will be able to join a small group of other DIY members to work with a counselor who will share techniques, give one-on-one feedback, and give challenges. The DIY mods hope to make the app public in a few months, but a few members have been able to take a part in the trial, which is just to make sure that there are no bugs and that kind of thing. Indiana shared a video a few hours ago telling us about the camps. Click here to view it! The next contest is coming sometime in March!
