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 generally have a low-ratio of students per coach. Ask your location for specifics as it can vary. Camp instructors are Code Coaches® who have successfully gone through our onboarding process and are coders that know how to teach coding skills to kids. 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
We’re excited to roll out a new camp structure for Summer 2026! This year, our camps will run in two sessions each day: Morning Session: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM Afternoon Session: 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM Families can choose either a half-day session or mix and match sessions throughout the week. Interested in a full day option? We can accommodate! Please give us a call so we can help arrange it. We can’t wait for another awesome summer of coding, creativity, and hands on fun!

GAME DEVELOPMENT (Ages 8+)

We'll be using cool drag n' drop languages like Scratch or Snap to create some cool new and classic games! Aimed at our newbie and novice coders, this camp is a great way to get exposed to coding, or dig deeper into game design and development skills. It's amazing how fast you can build a playable game these days and learn coding concepts at the same time.

7/6-7/10 PM 12:30-3:30pm | Game Development, 425 $375 (Code "EARLY50" at checkout)
8/10-8/14 AM 9:00-12:00pm | Game Development, 425 $375 (Code "EARLY50" at checkout)

PYTHON STARTUP (Ages 9+)

Who’s ready for some PYTHON! Sounds a little gross, like a giant snake right? But it’s actually one of the hottest languages around today. Take advantage of the easy-to-read style of coding while picking up on one of the most popular languages today for professional and beginner coders alike. We’ll start out by using an online python platform to learn some basics and practice some fundamental concepts, and time permitting and based on our camper skill set, we may jump on to some more complex Python coding, potentially getting into coding with PyGame.

6/22-6/26 PM 12:30-3:30pm | Python Startup, 425 $375 (Code "EARLY50" at checkout)

Minecraft! (Ages 9+)

Let’s face it: Kids love video games. It’s quickly becoming one of the best ways for kids to learn computer science skills — especially coding. At theCoderSchool, we can teach coding through the video game Minecraft. Kids at our Minecraft Coding Camps learn how to build, create, and modify in their worlds through coding. We use Minecraft for our summer camps and sometimes even our after-school programs because kids love it: It’s easy to learn, is engaging, and is perfect for kids 8 years old and up.

6/29-7/3 PM 12:30-3:30 | Minecraft!, 425 $375 (Code "EARLY50" at checkout)
7/20-7/24 PM 12:30-3:30pm | MineCraft , 425 $375 (Code "EARLY50" at checkout)

Roblox! (Ages 8+)

If you've heard of Minecraft, you probably have heard of its cousin Roblox. In this summer camp, participants will get to create and publish their own Roblox game to Roblox website for the world to play. Campers will spend each day building an Obby (Roblox lingo for Obstacle course) using the amazing Roblox Studio platform. Campers will learn the basics of creating games in a 3D environment. They will also learn about the programming language Lua by modifying pre-programmed blocks to suit their obstacle course needs.

ROBOCODE (Ages 8+)

If you’re excited by the thought of controlling physical robots, look no further than our Robocode camp! This camp uses various small robots to code and control movements. We use mBots or other similar robots, and include building of the robot itself. Students are welcome to purchase the robot on their own (we will send you the link) to take home after or students are able to use ours that we take back after the camp!

RISE OF THE MACHINES (Ages 9+)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the buzzword of the day, and we’re ready to help you tackle it. This camp teaches kids about how AI and chatGPT works and its uses, and may use a platform to create their own AI image recognition bots. We may also dive into coding algorithms that mimic computer intelligence, and will use different languages depending on camper skills. Some coding experience required.

WE KNOW ARDUINO (Ages 9+)

This camp takes coding and combines it with electronics in the most practical and hands-on way by using an Arduino (ar-DWEE-no) Microcontroller. Campers will get to physically connect and program components such as LEDs and sensors. Technology is forever continuing to connect more and more devices so this is such a valuable skill to learn and understand. It's the pathway to robotics, IoT, and automation. Plus it's super fun to get to tinker with all these hardware components and see them work!

Experience Interactive STEM Learning

We design our coding camps to help kids understand STEM topics through interactive, hands-on experiences. Our engaging approach makes sometimes complex concepts palatable for younger students. Hands-on STEM learning is highly valuable for students, giving them skills they can use for years to come—even if they don’t become computer programmers. Some of the useful skills they’ll pick up include:

Making STEM fun and interesting is our specialty at theCoderSchool, and we’re confident that your child will come away with a newfound appreciation for computer programming through our immersive learning experience.

Coding Camps for Kids FAQ

What is a coding camp?

Coding summer camps are week-long coding courses in a variety of topics, from robotics to artificial intelligence to video game design and development. We also teach an Intro to Python Programming camp, one of the fastest growing programming languages in the world!

What makes theCoderSchool camps different?

Our coding camps at theCoderSchool are unique because they are taught in small groups and very hands-on, giving campers a more immersive experience in which to improve their technical skills.

How does a coding camp help kids?

Coding camps help our campers learn in a collaborative way. Not only are they picking up useful teamwork skills, but they’re also learning the fundamentals of a valuable STEM subject in a fun and engaging way.

What is the best coding camp for kids?

We know how different kids are from one another, and our camps help reflect that diversity. You'll find camps that focus on javascript and HTML/CSS for web development, use Scratch for game design, game development, and animations, we even have camps that teach algorithms for basic artificial intelligence and data science. We also employ a project-based learning experience.

How do I find a camp near me?

Our coding schools are scattered around the US, so be sure to find a kids’ coding camp near you to discover what options are available in your area and for enrollment.

What is theCoderSchool? We are an after-school drop-off (and virtual) program for kids learning to code - a coding school! There's after-school kung fu. There's after-school music lessons, sports, art, tutoring, Chinese, you name it, it's out there. But coding classes for kids? Founded in 2013, we're the first of many, and the largest in Silicon Valley with more locations on the way around the country. The future will be ever more dependent on technology so let's get our young generation ready. Learn to Code, Change the World®.
