Week | Format | Camp | Ages | Price |
6/23-6/27 | Full Day | Robotics & Coding (Beginner) Campers will explore the basics of robotics and computer programming through engaging hands-on activities and collaborative projects. Beginner coders will start with an introduction to coding using Scratch, a user-friendly programming language that lets kids create their own interactive stories, games, and animations. All campers will then apply their coding knowledge in Scratch to work in small groups to build and program their own robots using kits that include sensors, motors, and custom add-on components. 7-10 | 7-10 | (Use code: EARLY100) |
6/23-6/27 | Full Day | Robotics & Coding (Intermediate) Campers will explore the basics of robotics and computer programming in Python through engaging hands-on activities and collaborative projects.

7/7-7/11 | Full Day | Roblox Obby Building Campers will gain a better appreciation for how Roblox games are built and what goes on behind the scenes to create a fun Roblox game. They’ll be introduced to Roblox Studio - a 2D/3D game design platform that is used to build all of their favorite Roblox games. Each day, campers will learn how to design and create various different elements of an “obby” (Roblox lingo for “Obstacle Course”) such as laser blocks, invisible blocks, speed boosts, jump boosts, and checkpoints to incorporate into their own custom obbys. At the end of the week, campers will have their own personal obbys that they can play on their own or with their friends. 7-12 | 7-12 | (Use code: EARLY100) |
7/14-7/18 | Full Day | Game Design & Minecraft (Beginner) This Game Design and Minecraft Modding Camp is the perfect blend of creativity and technology for the video game and Minecraft enthusiast. Beginner coders will start with an introduction to coding using Scratch, a kid-friendly programming language that’s fun, visual and easy to learn. Campers will explore concepts like sprites/objects, backgrounds, and sound effects while developing their own fun, interactive games. For the Minecraft portion of camp, students will apply their coding skills to create mods in Minecraft’s Education Edition using Microsoft’s MakeCode language (a block-based language, similar to scratch). They’ll work on projects that allow them to add new features, build unique environments, and collaborate with fellow campers. 7-10 | 7-10 | (Use code: EARLY100) |
7/14-7/18 | Full Day | Game Design & Minecraft (Intermediate) Middle schoolers and experienced younger coders will learn how to code in Python, a versatile programming language that’s widely used in the industry. Campers will dive into the basics of Python, explore game mechanics, and create games using Python’s various graphics libraries such as Turtle, PyGame and Pyxel. For the Minecraft portion of camp, students will apply their coding skills to create mods in Minecraft’s Education Edition using Python. They’ll work on projects that allow them to add new features, build unique environments, and collaborate with fellow campers. 11-14 | 11-14 | (Use code: EARLY100) |

Hello everyone! I'm Francis, the proud owner of theCoderSchool in Berkeley Heights, where I work alongside my wife, Carlissa, and our daughter, Autumn. Since 2016, we've called Berkeley Heights home and fallen in love with the town, its neighborhoods, and the incredible community that surrounds us.
Our journey here began in 2016 when we moved from NYC with Autumn, who was just 9 months old at the time. Since then, she's been actively involved in various activities like tennis, gymnastics, soccer, music, performing arts, dance, karate, swimming, and, of course, coding. We view coding as a stimulating and enjoyable activity that complements her physical pursuits – she instantly fell in love with it.
A bit about me – I've spent the past 15 years leading marketing teams in the tech startup world, with a recent focus on AI and gaming/esports. Introduced to coding at a young age, the principles of logic and problem-solving I gained from it have shaped my approach to school, my career, and life in general.
Much has changed since I was an 8-year-old learning to code. Today, programming languages like Scratch are not only more fun but also easier to learn. Platforms like Roblox and Minecraft are introducing kids to the exciting intersection of coding and creativity, serving as building blocks for their brilliant young minds. Lastly, AI is literally changing everything – what an exciting time to be in this space!
We're thrilled to offer local kids in our area an amazing opportunity through theCoderSchool – to learn to code, change the world, and, most importantly, have a ton of fun along the way. 🚀
We're always looking for great Code Coaches. Shoot us an email with resumé to see if we're a fit!
As you and your family consider coding programs, it helps to keep in mind:
Whether the student wants to explore Minecraft modding in Minecraft camp, is interested in HTML, or wants to learn block-based coding like CSS, our interactive classes provide a great coding experience.
