I cant find those costs, all I see are at the following URL:
http://www.austinkids.org/Programs/Camps/Off-site-Summer-Camps.aspx

Edit: I do see on the calendar for yesterday (4/1/08) an entry for 3:30pm:
My Tech: ACM Robotics Club which links to :
http://www.austinkids.org/Programs/After-School.aspx
but that page is "empty".

Sounds pretty neat either for a 1/week course, or a 1/2 day summer week camp.
