Participants learn coding fundamentals including conditional logic, variables, and loops. Making use of platforms such as Code Camp World, group members create characters and narratives, develop their sense of storytelling, and exercise their problem-solving skills. During development, games can be published for friends and caretakers to play and view progress using the Code Camp Community app. Using their unique login, each child may continue developing, sharing, and playing games using the Code Camp World platform outside of instructional time. By the end of the session participants will have experience working with X/Y coordinate systems, kinetic physics, animation and comparison operators. There is no program offered on Friday July 3.

Participants enjoy a creative-based musical theater program where group members will collaborate with one another and write their own script based on the storybook Frog Prince. Our Creative Theater Workshop will also work together to create their own original books, music, and lyrics, as well as to design and craft their own sets and costumes. At the end of the week, the group will perform their piece as actors, dancers, and stage managers. Participants also learn the basic terminology of musicals and theater and they work hard towards a common goal, having a good time along the way. Every group member will have an essential role in the creation of the final product. All you need is a great attitude. There is no program offered on Friday, July 3.

The Leadership Development Program is designed to split program time between learning how to become effective leaders and counselors, as well as to provide an opportunity for each participant to hone these skills in the context of working with a group of children. Workshops will teach counselors how to work with children, apply for jobs, and develop their leadership skills. There will be opportunities to facilitate supervised activities with the younger members of our community. Graduates of the program will be able to have a 2-week internship next summer. There is no program offered on Friday, July 3.

We are considering extending our options beyond July 15 but this will be based on demand and we will know more in the coming weeks. 

Our online registration system is Campium. Once you register, you can log back in and access your account.

Your Campium portal has a calendar function that has links for your child’s activities.

On-screen time is when counselors direct the activity and participants can watch them. Screen-on time is when counselors are prompting, observing, and commenting on participant work. 

We have reduced the cost of our summer programs dramatically and are unable to offer financial aid or discounts at this time. 

This summer we are not able to offer refunds as the plans, staffing, and schedule are final. The range of scheduling options should offer families all the flexibility families need.
