Revision 351674859 of "MSI Computer Camps" on enwiki

The '''MSI Computer Camps''' are non-profit summer camps dedicated to the education of youth in the rapidly changing computing industry.

==History==
The camps started back in 1992 when engineer F. Wayne Tunison saw the opportunity to make use of computer resources of other computer analysts on summer vacation. Since that time the camps evolved with increased support for many varied topics.

===Past Camps===
As a direct result of attendance at these programs, participants have initiated over a dozen new Saskatchewan companies. As well, the expertise gained from these programs has assisted with school computer programs, in development of community Internet sites, and in career choices and employment for some of the participants from Canada and the USA.
