Are you ready to ignite your child’s passion for coding and foster their love for creativity and adventure? Look no further than our captivating coding summer camp in South Surrey, BC, Canada. Join us for an unforgettable experience where young minds explore the exciting world of coding while immersing themselves in thrilling activities and forging lifelong friendships. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at our dynamic coding curriculum and the thrilling adventures that await your child at our camp.

Age-Specific Curriculum: Our coding summer camp offers a meticulously crafted curriculum designed to cater to the unique needs and interests of two age groups: 5-8 years and 9-14 years. Here’s a glimpse into what your child can expect:

For the younger group (5-8 years), we embark on an interactive journey through Scratch, an engaging and user-friendly programming platform. Under the guidance of our expert instructors, campers will dive into the world of coding and complete a new game each day. Through hands-on projects, they will unleash their creativity, enhance problem-solving skills, and build a strong foundation in coding fundamentals.

The older group (9-14 years) will delve into the world of Python, a versatile and widely used programming language. Over the course of the camp, they will learn Python’s syntax, functions, and data structures while working towards the creation of their very own game. Our experienced instructors will guide them through coding challenges, encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving, ultimately empowering them to become confident programmers.

Daily Schedule: Our coding summer camp ensures a well-balanced and exhilarating daily schedule that keeps campers engaged and excited. Here’s a breakdown of what a typical day at camp looks like:

9:00 AM – Camp Begins: Campers kickstart their day with icebreaker games, fostering new friendships and creating a vibrant community of young coders.

9:30 AM – Coding Classes: The coding adventure begins! Our instructors lead age-appropriate coding classes tailored to each group. The younger campers dive into Scratch, learning to create animations, interactive stories, and simple games. Meanwhile, the older group embarks on their Python coding journey, exploring concepts such as variables, loops, conditionals, and more.

12:00 PM – Break and Lunch: After an engaging coding session, campers take a break to recharge and refuel. They enjoy a delicious and nutritious lunch while sharing experiences and building connections with fellow campers.
