Full Day Felting

For this summer camp, we use felting needles and create a pillow with a fun felt design. Special felting needles are needles with very sharp barbed blades. Needle felting is a process that uses a barbed metal needle that is poked into a foam block that works to interlock fibers and form a design in countless ways. A felting kit is provided and the students will bring it home at the end of the week to continue their creative felting projects!

Cost: $350.00 Number of Students: 4* Main Building Full Day: 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. *Full day combines with the half day (see next camp) for a total of 6 students.

Our tech-savvy instructors introduce students to the core coding concepts at the heart of computer science. They guide small groups of campers in creating an interactive story and/or a game of their own using the block-based, online programming language Scratch. Children come to camp with a variety of backgrounds and beginner skill levels (from no experience to self-study of Scratch to some previous exposure to coding), so campers receive personalized instruction and progress at a pace that ensures they are appropriately challenged. This camp also provides a great opportunity to meet and

Number of Students: 10 Full Day: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Game Development: Intermediate/Advanced (Coder’s Ladder Experience: Level 2–3)

July 10–14 Camps

Prerequisites: Understanding of basic coding concepts (variables, conditionals, debugging, etc). Ability to independently create simple games.* This is for coders who are ready to take their game development skills up to the next level. Instructors serve as guides and coaches to small groups of campers as they build more complex games of their own. These games feature advanced concepts such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), game physics, or multi-player functionality. After the camp has ended, campers are able to share projects with family and friends and continue programming at home with their Coding with Kids Scratch account. *Students typically achieve this level of knowledge in one 8-week session of classes or one week of summer camps. (Third and fourth grade students may need to double that experience, or should take two beginner camps before moving forward.)

Grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Morning Minecraft Modding

Does your child love Minecraft? Is your child ready to extend the game and build on this interest to learn coding? This camp is perfect! Students have access to their own Minecraft server where they customize the game with their own world maps and game features. They code mods to create new tools, items, environments, and non-playable characters, and then test out these features as they play the game. Students with previous experience create their own skin packs or even make multiplayer battle arenas. During this process, campers use their creativity and problem solving skills while learning programming and building mods.

Prerequisites: Prior experience building programs (in Scratch or otherwise) and good understanding of basic coding concepts (variables, conditionals, debugging, etc). Basic typing skills needed. Is your emerging coder ready to learn a professional programming language? Python is a very versatile language that is widely used by software developers, as well as scientists or data analysts. Campers are introduced to Python, gain valuable experience with key concepts like data structures and algorithms, and build several projects. The projects may include terminal-based game, data analysis, or web scraping.
