Coding Camps for Kids & Teens | 2021 | Online Summer Programs & Camps

Coding camps & programs

Coding camps for kids offer instruction in Python, Scratch, JavaScript, C++, and more. Courses are structured, and typically run a week in length, with sessions available in multiple time zones (5 consecutive days, Monday-Friday). With low student to instructor ratios, classes blend personalized learning and time for kids to socialize with new friends.
