At our Game Creation camp your child will embrace their creative side as they design and code their very own computer games. The perfect place to start for beginners who want to kick start their coding journey, or ideal for those who have completed Spark Camp with us already. Each child will design two engaging platform games and then bring them to life with intuitive, yet powerful, drag and drop code.
At the end of the camp, their finished games will be published and sent home for you to enjoy together. Every student also receives lifelong access to our coding software, so they can keep creating and coding at home. Along the way, children will have loads of fun, make new friends, and build the confidence and digital skills they need for the future.

Mums and Dads are raving about Code Camp!

Rated 5 stars by hundreds of parents, see what they’re saying about us…

My daughter came back on each of the 3 days stating that she had had the best time ever; she was so delighted by the work she had done and that she had made her very own App. Of course she then showed me how to play on it and helped me through the trickier moves. She is 7!!!

My son absolutely loved his first Code Camp! He was so eager to show us what he had learnt each day! Well organised, loved the T-shirt/Cap and the Medal of acknowledgment at the end of the 3 days! We've already booked for the next one!

Katherine

My son Elliott had the best time at Code Camp. He has ASD and sometimes finds it hard to settle in to new situations; however at Code Camp he immediately felt at home. From his amazingly warm and enthusiastic welcome from the team to every day he explained as ‘flying by’, he honestly told me he enjoyed every single second and learned a lot. Code Camp was extremely well organised and inclusive, my son thoroughly enjoyed himself and already has stressed to me it’s very important he returns in the summer! Thanks a million Team!

My daughter went to Code Camp knowing not very much at all about coding, or had any clue about how games are constructed. She took to it as if she had been coding all her life! The teaching by the young team was amazing, she learned a new skill, made some new pals, had a lot of fun and gained a huge amount of confidence. It's great to give kids this kind of exposure to a new skill outside of school, where it feels less like learning and more like holiday club - can't recommend the course enough.

Sandra

My daughter (age 9) attended in Jan 2018 and absolutely loved it, it's now her new favourite holiday camp! She didn't know any other children there, but after the kids days she had made some new friends and very keen to go back to the next camp!

Code Camp was an excellent experience and lots of fun. It was amazing how we got to code our very own games, which was an opportunity that I had to take. The staff were kind and supportive and always willing to help.
