Summer Camps
Welcome to our fun and educational line up of coding, robotics, AI and eSports summer camps!
Code Inspire summer camps offer a wonderful variety of ways to get kids (K-10th grade) excited about coding.
We are on a mission to offer after-school coding classes and summer camps to make sure everyone has access to coding education. By supporting Code Inspire, you can helps us deliver much needed after school/summer coding camp experiences to youth all over the US!
We are excited to hold our summer camps at the Penn State – Lehigh Valley campus at 2809 Saucon Valley Road, Center Valley, PA 18034
We offer AM and PM half day camps. You can also register for 2 half day camps (AM and PM) to make a full day camp. We will provide supervision and activities during the lunch period for your child. Registration is open from March 22nd until May 15th! Spots are limited!
Grade Levels: Refer to the grade your child is entering for the 2024-2025 school year. If you choose to enroll your child in a higher grade level because they are more advanced, that is your choice. We will adjust if we believe they are not in the right grade level.
Equipment: All devices and robotics equipment will be provided.
Breaks and Lunch: Please bring a nut-free snack for half day camps and a nut-free lunch (if signing up for both AM and PM camps). Weather permitting, we may spend break/lunch time outdoors.
Cancellation and Refund Policy:
If you cancel by May 1st, a 75% refund will be issued. If you cancel by May 15th, a 50% refund will be issued. Any cancellations after May 15th cannot be refunded unless we can fill the spot 2 weeks prior to the camp start date.
Flexible Options to work with your schedule this summer:
PRIVATE/SEMI-PRIVATE lessons can also be scheduled depending on instructor availability.
CAMP WITH FRIENDS: We also can create a “camp with friends” option if you have a group of 7-8 similarly aged kids that want to take a camp together!
