A week of coding, creativity, and mindfulness
Each day starts with fun, low-pressure icebreakers to help kids connect, feel comfortable, and start the day with confidence.
These activities set the tone for a collaborative and supportive week.
Campers dive into the heart of our program: building real apps & games.
Guided by instructors, kids bring their ideas to life by writing real code. Along the way, they build confidence, expand their creativity, and develop problem-solving skills.

Lunchtime is a chance to relax and recharge with friends.
Each day, kids enjoy nutritious, allergy-free meals outside with friends. It’s a chance to laugh, recharge, and fuel up for the afternoon ahead.
After lunch, campers take a mindful pause as they breathe, reflect, and reset before diving back into the day.
Kids practice breathing exercises, stretches, and simple meditation techniques. They discover their inner calm in a way that sparks creativity and feels effortless and fun.
Then comes the wow-factor: campers control physical objects using real code!
Campers take coding beyond the screen by programming real-world objects (like concert lights) to respond to their commands. They’ll experiment with syncing lights to music or creating visual effects, learning how code controls the physical world.
To balance the excitement of coding, we incorporate mindfulness exercises that help campers connect with themselves and others.
Through meditation, deep breathing, and mindful movement, campers learn to cultivate focus, manage emotions, and embrace a sense of inner calm.
With 3D printing, campers design and create real objects they can take home.
Using cutting-edge technology, kids design and print their own custom objects (like keychains or figurines) to take home. It’s hands-on creativity, design, and problem-solving in one.
As the week goes on, campers polish their projects by debugging, testing, and leveling up their skills.
They’ll test, debug, and play their creations while getting real feedback from instructors. This phase is all about refining their work and making it shine. Creativity and problem-solving take center stage.
Show & Tell:
A Celebration of Creativity
At the end of the week, kids share their creations (apps, games, and 3D designs) with family and friends. It’s a proud moment that celebrates growth, creativity, and effort. Confidence skyrockets. Applause is guaranteed.
