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 Coding Camps

See Camps Ordered By Date
Our camps run at our school from 9 AM to 3 PM, Monday through Friday, except during the week of June 30. Kids bring their own snacks, lunches, and water bottles—we’ll take care of the rest! Spend the week coding and having fun, and campers will showcase their work with a demo on the final day!

GAME DEVELOPMENT (Kids Ages 8+)

We'll be using cool drag n' drop languages like Scratch or Snap to create us some cool new and classic games! Aimed at our newbie and novice coders. Campers will not only create a real functioning game from scratch, they'll practice the fundamental coding concepts required in any language.Novice or Intermediate coders.

WEBROX (Kids Ages 10+)

The internet is filled with a seemingly infinite number of websites, each with their own uniqueness and purpose. But how would you go about making one yourself? In this week-long web development camp, we’ll learn HTML and CSS, the bread and butter of any webpage, to build a plethora of different websites. These beginner-friendly programming languages will enable us to make popular website features while exploring fundamental computer science concepts such as code design and naming conventions. By the end of this program, campers may have an actual website online illustrating their acquired skills and unique projects.
