As technology gains importance in our everyday lives, it is important for kids to learn meaningful and fun skills like: Robotics, Minecraft, Game Design Scratch programming. Besides programming, we will be teaching Photo editing and 3D drawing too. S.T.E.M learning and fun combined in a week-long camp!

Why is camp 1 week long?
ComputerWiseKids is committed to providing a quality program. In order to make our summer program meaningful, we have chosen to offer week-long courses. This allows the student to learn the subject well. Each child learns at his/her own pace. Students will leave camp with a completed project to share with their friends and family.
Will my child learn the same course material again if I sign up for 2 weeks for the same course?
No, your child would start on a new project and continue to sharpen his/her skills. It is a good way to reinforce the things they have learned. All the Camps have skill levels ranging from 1-3.
Do I need to buy a subscription for Minecraft?
Depends on the camp, most of our summer camps do not require a separate subscription. We use the EDU version of Minecraft. Students sign-in on a server set up for the camp.
Tell me about lunch and snacks?
Campers should carry their own snack & a sack lunch to camp. Please make us aware of any food allergies your child may have. The camp is NOT a peanut-free campus.
Tell me about the Instructors?
Our instructors are highly trained ComputerWiseKids professionals. During the year, they all work with the ComputerWiseKids Program at School Tech Labs in various Public and Private schools in LA. ComputerWiseKids Instructors are technically competent, experts on the subject they teach, fun-loving camp counselors, and are CPR trained.
