40+ years of tech, sports, and everything in between
What we are all about
TIC Summer Camp provides a premier summer experience for kids ages 7 to 15, specializing in an inclusive and encouraging environment that fosters a healthy mind and body balance. As a top-rated summer camp in DC, VA, and MD, we focus on collaboration, creativity, and personal growth through a unique curriculum. Campers come to TIC to dive into technology and sports, but they leave with so much more, including personalized attention from our expert staff and a serious boost in self-confidence.
Our "secret sauce" is a unique 50/50 model that features equal half days of technology and athletics. This dynamic mix ensures every camper gets a powerful, well-rounded experience by spending one half of their day engaged in cutting-edge tech options and the other half participating in high-energy youth athletics. This balanced approach gives them the freedom to let their creativity run wild while staying physically active. At TIC Summer Camp, we believe that kids learn best by having fun.
