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
Our summer camps run Monday through Friday, mornings (9am to 12pm) or afternoons (1pm to 4pm), in person. Kids spend the week building real projects in code and wrap things up with a live showcase for parents and family on the last day. Age ranges are guidelines, not rules. If your child is ahead of the curve or just getting started, just reach out and we'll point you in the right direction. Spots go fast. Grab yours before they're gone. EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT Code CAMPSROCK2026 expires May 15, 2026. If camp is full, please reach out to tammy@thecoderschool.com to get added to our WAITLIST.

VIBE CODE ADVENTURE (Ages 10+)

Vibe Coding meets Shark Tank! We will create teams to brainstorm current things in our daily lives that might be annoying or broken.. Then vibe coding will be used to build or prototype a fix. It will culminate on Friday in a Shark Tank style pitch by the teams presenting their solutions.
