Summer Code Camp 2025
July & August 2025
Give your child a summer of coding fun! Our 6 week code camps combine hands-on programming with creative projects, making coding both educational and fun.
The ideal setup is one large screen split in half - one side for the lesson, one side for coding. No large monitor? No problem - a laptop and tablet combination works perfectly too. We'll walk you through the simple setup process so your child can focus on learning.
I'm a parent, how can I track my child's progress?
Our courses are "project based" meaning that your child will develop a portfolio of accomplishments
to demonstrate their progress.
What if I miss a lesson?
Lesson recordings can be provided if a student was to miss a lesson.
