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 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

Fantastic course, professionally run and with a friendly/knowledgeable team who connected brilliantly with the kids. They made something that can be difficult enjoyable.

Matthew

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.

Louis

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!

Dan

My daughter absolutely loved it - thank you so much!

Michele

My son was extremely excited about the stage 1 course, and couldn't wait to go back each morning. I would in future recommend to share a curriculum with parents, to understand what was learned and what tools used--it isn't easy to interrogate an 8yo, and outside of outcomes I don't really know the details of what was taught.
