The Association lowered the minimum age for enrollment in the instructional camp for several reasons, National President Ste­phen G. Danko said. First, Computer Camps of Gaithersburg, Md., the firm con­tracted by the Association to run the instructional camp, offers courses geared toward young children, he said. In addition, many students are being introduced to computers in their schools by the time they are 10 years old. "So, even child­ren this young are familiar with PITTSBURGH — The William Penn is its offering members an exciting oppportunity to visit Budapest and three other beauti­ful and historic cities as part of its officially sponsored tour of Hun­gary this summer. Tentative plans have been made for a two-week tour which would leave the United States on July 13 and return from Hungary on July 27. The tour would include nine nights in Budapest with accom­modations at the Hilton Hotel, one night stays in both Pecs and Tihany, and two nights in Sarvar. The cost of $2,199 per person wouid include round trip air fare from New York to Budapest, hotel accommodations, ground computers and, therefore, can benefit from attending our camp,” President Danko said. He also announced that maxi­mum enrollment in the week­­long session has been reduced from 40 students to 28. "By admitting fewer students, we will be able to offer each student more personal attention and more time working on the computers,” he said. The camp will run July 16 to 22 at Penn’s Scenic View in Trent, Pa. Computer Camps will provide a complete instructional facility, including computer systems with the most advanced hardware and peripherals, course workbooks and study aides. Each student’s background — transportation, special tours and activities, 13 breakfasts, four lunches, 13 dinners, visa fees and departure tax. The cost is based on double occupancy. The add-on air fare from Pitts­burgh to New York would be $128 per person. Add-on fares from additional cities would be made available if a sufficient number of members from those cities join the tour. However, plans for the tour will be finalized only if a sufficient number of members express a definite interest in going, said National Vice President Zoltán B. Emri. "We need at least 40 persons. If we cannot get 40, then it is doubtful we will have a tour this no matter how limited or exten­sive — will be matched with an appropriate level of instruction. Courses will focus on producing tangible results and operational competency, rather than simple, undirected free play. The training can have a pro­found effect on children and will provide them a head start which will last for years to come. The William Penn will provide rooms and all meals for students during the week. Each student will also receive a course manual developed by Computer Camps for the programming class and printouts of programs he or she will write during the class. Computer Camps will also pro­vide enough computers so that no more than two students will year,” he said. As of the end of April, about 40 persons had contacted the Home Office asking for more information. But organizers were quick to point out that not all of these early respondents would even­tually sign up for the tour. So, they decided to give members additional time to express their interest in joining the tour. "We encourage anyone inter-1989, with at least one year’s premium paid. If more than one eligible bowler scores a 300 game, the prize will be distributed even­ly amongst the winners. Throughout the weekend all guests can sample Pittsburgh’s diverse ethnic heritage by visiting the Pittsburgh Folk Festival. The festival will be held May 26 to 28 at the David L. Lawrence Conven­tion Center, located six blocks from the hotel. share one computer at any time. The cost for the session, includ­ing instruction, all materials, room and board, is $150 per student.
