Ensuring a Safe & Fun Summer
The health of our campers is a top priority. Our COVID safety plan supplements our regular camp policies. Please read our policies before you register.

Computer Quest (Elementary)
Five-day camp

Learn how computers work while you have fun taking apart and rebuilding them. You’ll do exciting activities for each big part of Information Technology (IT): Hardware, Software, Networks and the Internet. At Kramden we fix up thousands of computers each year and now you can be part of that!
Let’s Code! Coding Basics (Elementary)
Five-day camp
Grades 3 – 5
Get started with coding using Scratch, the most popular way for kids to learn programming! You can make games, create animations, and tell stories with your new coding skills. Coding won’t be a mystery because Scratch uses snap-together blocks to show you how code works. You’ll do computer-free activities to learn logical thinking, too.
