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 camps run Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at our school. Campers should provide their own lunch and water bottle, and we’ll take care of the rest. Students will code throughout the week and showcase what they’ve built during a demo on Friday. For a limited time, use code TCSCAMPS2026 to receive $100 off camp enrollment. We’re also excited to offer a convenient lunch option for Ridgewood campers. Parents may order lunch from Toastique Ridgewood, with delivery directly to your child during camp. This is a great option for families who prefer a fresh, nutritious lunch without packing one each day. Additional details will be shared at sign up.
