Virtual Summer Tech Camps
New Virtual Tech Camps are now available for enrollment at $295 a week. These camps will be very similar to our In-Person Summer Tech Camps but will be run virtually over Zoom. During the camps, students present their code, demo their work, and we have breakout rooms for dedicated 1-on-1 time with Teachers/LITs.
Parents love the curriculum & convenience, Teachers enjoy using the tech to work with campers, and Students have a fun time showcasing their work, and collaborating with friends during Free Time.
Note: Students will need a PC/Mac to participate in our virtual camps.
This virtual camp is a must-do for all parents who want their children to gain insight into the world of technology, programming, and fun!
Throughout the day, we rotate different technology areas like typing & coding. In addition, we allow kids to select individual projects and activities that they are most interested in areas like website development, graphic design, office, powerpoint, gaming, mobile apps and more!
