3 New Tech Options. Zero boring days.

How our technology program works

Hands-on: Campers choose one Technology option for the full two-week session and spend half the day learning how to use the equipment and software or language through doing. Our hands-on focused methods use tools like trial and error, critical thinking, and active problem solving to maximize the amount learned and retained over the course of the session.

Collaborative: Campers work with a partner or small group to create and develop their projects. We don’t tell campers what to make, instead allowing them to work together to combine their strengths, interests, and creative ideas in order to accomplish a completely one-of-a-kind takeaway. Another positive is the communication skills built along the way are beneficial to any other area of the campers’ life that requires cooperation. 

Please note: Two campers share a computer to further incorporate the concepts.

Individualized: With our 4:1 teaching ratio, every TIC camper receives the personal attention they deserve and every session is different. Our highly compassionate and qualified Staff tailor instruction to each camper’s skill level and interests. Campers can repeat the same Technology Program option as many Sessions as they’d like and continue to deepen their knowledge without repetition.

  • *For campers entering 4th grade and up.* Ready for takeoff? Campers learn the science of flight, pilot their own drones, and team up to engineer custom attachments for missions like package drops and search-and-rescue runs. More information.

  • Roll the dice on something new! Campers invent their own board games from scratch: they dream up the story, design the boards and cards, and playtest until every rule is just right. More information.

  • Turn screen time into creation time! Campers go from app users to app creators: they design, code, and test their own mobile apps, from games to tools that solve real problems. More information.

  • Got a problem? Code a solution. In Coding Solutions, campers use code as a superpower to build whatever they can imagine, from a file sorter or their very own AI to the games they've always wanted to play. Younger campers start with drag-and-drop coding in Scratch, while older campers write real code in Java or Python. More information.

  • *For senior campers only* Ever wonder why some games just feel so good to play? In 3D Game Design, campers find out, then build it themselves in Unity and Godot, the same engines the pros use. From coding mechanics to designing levels and adding the "juice" that makes every jump and hit feel awesome, campers walk away with a playable slice of their own game. More information.

  • Lights, camera, action! Campers write, direct, film, and edit their own original videos. Juniors master the art of short-form content, and seniors produce short films with pro cameras, boom mics, and green screens. More information.

  • Time to think outside the bots! Campers design, build, and code robots that walk, throw, and race through obstacle courses. Beginners start with LEGO, and advanced builders level up to real VEX electronics. More information.

Technology options

  • Bring your art to life! Campers create their own animated cartoons in Adobe Animate, build stop-motion shorts frame by frame, and seniors can level up to 3D animation in Blender. More information.

  • New this summer: DJing! Campers write, record, and produce original songs in Ableton, then step behind professional DJ controllers to blend, loop, and mix their favorite songs live. More information.

  • Your Roblox world. Your rules. Campers step into Roblox Studio, the same tool real Roblox creators use, and code their own games in Lua, packed with moving obstacles, working traps, and custom player controls. New to coding? No problem. Campers start with kid-friendly tools and take home their own Roblox game to keep building. More information.

  • Don’t just play Minecraft, change it! Campers design and code their own mods, from new mobs and magic weapons to entire dimensions, then jump in and play them. More information.
