TECH CAMP PROGRAMS
WHERE DOES YOUR STORY BEGIN?
Emagination Summer Tech Camps are designed for children and teens interested in computers and technology. Each camper creates their ideal summer experience by selecting courses that suit their individual interests and goals, which are then balanced with fun Emagination group activities, special events, recreation, and traditional summer camp fun.
SUMMER CAMP JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT
We currently offer programs in 6 states on beautiful campus locations. Depending on the location, campers can enjoy 1 or 2-week sessions, and extend the fun by registering for multiple sessions. Enjoy the time away from home as an Overnight camper, or join the fun as a Day camper. An Extended Day option is also available for kids and teens who want to stretch the daily fun as long as possible, or parents who need more time for drop-offs and pick-ups. The choice is yours!
Select the option below that best suits your camp style:
