Here is how the NCC Virtual Online Camp works:
At the traditional NCC camp each camper is provided a computer loaded with NCC software. At the virtual camp each camper uses his/her home computer to access the virtual NCC cloud computer assigned to the camper. The camper’s cloud computer has the identical NCC software. Virtual online campers enjoy the same well known curriculum, the same effective learning, the same fun software, and the same popular staff.
