Summer Coding Camps

While we’re mostly an after-school custom-learning coding shop, we also offer Summer Camps! Our in-person coding camps can be a great way to keep your kids learning computer science through their time away from school. theCoderSchool’s camps target kids’ interests, from video game development to robotics to minecraft to roblox to javascript with html/css and even mobile game development.

How We Teach at Our Camps

Our camps are all low-ratio, with typically six campers to each instructor. Camp instructors are often our regular year-round Code Coaches® who have lots of experience teaching coding skills to kids throughout the year. Each camp has recommendations around age and skill level, but all are open to discussion based on your child’s experience with coding.

How Our Camps Are Run

Each day camp runs for a full week, usually starting mid-morning and finishing early afternoon, although some camps are offered as a half-day. While we’ll do lots of on-computer learning, we’ll also take plenty of breaks and take a walk outside or other indoor activities. At the end of the week, students give demos to show off their hard work from the week and their newfound critical thinking skills.

Our summer camps are fun and educational experiences for children who love technology and gaming. From creating interactive games in Scratch, Python and robotics to building worlds in Minecraft and Roblox, our camps offer hands-on learning experiences that will inspire creativity and innovation. All summer camps are full-day camps that run Monday through Friday from 9:00AM to 3:00PM.

WEBROX (11-14)

Campers will get hands-on experience in web development, learning the basics of HTML, CSS and creative design. Each camper will be introduced to the skills needed to create a simple, functioning website and have the opportunity to express both their creative and technical skills. Since beautiful websites aren’t just about the code, campers will also learn graphic design principles using Canva. We’ll explore color schemes, layouts, and typography — key elements that make a website visually appealing.

Minecraft! (7-10)

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.

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.
