Middle School is a tough audience to compel to come to "camp."  We have had moderate success using terms like "Scientists in Action" or going on "Extreme Adventures," but what usually drives attendance is playing up whatever the topic is, and delving into what's 'cool' there.

Good luck!

We have a new Middle School camp that we are trying out for our winter
break.  The trouble is, we're not sure what to call them in the
promotional material.  Middle School Campers doesn't sound 'sexy' for
them.  It almost sounds too dorky for them these days.
 
Anybody have some ideas or currently do middle school camps that have
had luck with the 'description' part of the flier?
