 2026 Summer Camp

🎮 Game Design: Scratch Coding Camp – Build Games. Play Games. Be the Developer.

Your child doesn't just want to play video games. They want to make them.

This is the week where that actually happens. Campers use Scratch to design, build, and play their own original video games from scratch. Characters, storylines, levels, scoring, sound effects, every creative decision is theirs to make.

By Friday, every camper walks away with a real, playable game they built themselves. No experience needed. Just imagination and a willingness to click, create, and debug.

What campers will create this week:

• 🎨 Characters & Worlds – Design original sprites, backgrounds, and storylines that make their game totally unique
• 🕹️ Game Mechanics – Code movement, jumping, scoring, win conditions, and game-over screens
• 🐛 Debugging Challenges – When something breaks (and it will!), campers learn to find the problem and fix it like a real developer
• 🏆 Game Showcase – The week ends with campers playing each other's games and celebrating what they built

Campers will develop key STEAM skills as they explore:

• Block-Based Coding – Using Scratch to build real, functional game logic
• Computational Thinking – Breaking big ideas into small, logical steps
• Creative Design – Making deliberate choices about how their game looks, sounds, and feels
• Debugging & Problem Solving – Testing, breaking, fixing, and improving
• Confidence With Technology – Walking away knowing they can build something from nothing

Campers are grouped by age and experience — whether it's their first time coding or they've used Scratch before, everyone builds something they're proud of.
