Abstract	The Computer Information and Technology Department (CIT) program of Purdue University is offered at our regional campus in Columbus, Indiana. Like many programs throughout the country, we face issues in recruiting new students. Over the last seven to eight years, we have faced declining enrollment, even as our main campus at West Lafayette saw strong gains. The cause could be a variety of issues, such as cost of college, continued fear of outsourcing in entry level jobs, belief that students can just get certifications to get jobs, increased competition from online programs, to name a few. At our site in Columbus, we face those challenges as well as additional challenges specific to our campus that will be addressed in this paper. In an effort to reverse the enrollment trends and build up awareness of Purdue in the area and CIT in particular, we have developed several exciting camps. One camp is an Animation Camp discussed in a previous conference submission. However, we have changed the focus of that camp slightly and added a new camp for high school students on game development. In this paper we will discuss the ideas behind the development of the camps and specifically focus on the efforts to create a game development camp.
