ILC Academics offers a plugged-in oasis in the thick of the Pocono Mountains forest. We offer a high-tech education that challenges everyone from newbies to pros in areas as diverse as computer programming, cartooning, video editing, and gaming. But the Academics building is not just for tech-heads. We also offer a well-stocked lending library and classes in more pen-and-paperish pursuits like creative writing, journalism and sign language.

The department publishes The Independent magazine every performance day and is known to open itself up during afternoons to campers who need to take things down a notch after a hectic and active day. As a meeting place for campers with diverse interests, the Academics building plays host to everything from quiet reading on the dock to tutoring to winner-takes-all LAN parties. The department is proud of its tradition as a decidedly off-the-mainstream part of the ILC universe, with a vibe and a pace all its own.
