CAMP PROGRAM INFO: This year we’re proud to offer five different strands of computer coding instruction:
Mobile App Development
Game Development
Web Development
Computer Art
Robotics
In each strand, you’ll learn programming fundamentals along with workshops designed to make you familiar with the other skills necessary to continue growing in each area of learning.
The aim of this summer camp is to provide Vermont students grades 5-12 and educators with instruction in different functional, applicable areas of computer programming. To that end, instruction is focused on both real-world applicability of skills and supporting campers in the construction of a program, website, game or micro-controller project in full.
Campers will come away from summer camp not just having produced code that they can add to their portfolio, but with the knowledge of how to share out their work with other developers around the world, and resources for continuing their studies.
The camp culminates on Friday, August 8th from 4-6pm with an all-camp Community Celebration, to which all families and community members are encouraged to attend, to see first-hand what Vermonts students and educators can do with a week’s worth of code.
CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: We offer a comprehensive need-based scholarship package at our website.
FAMILY CAMP SESSION(S): Camp culminates in a Community Celebration, where campers showcase what they've created over the week.
