Bellingham Summer Camp 2026 Information

Registration is now open at the bottom of the page!

Bellingham + Ferndale!

Bellingham Coding and Robotics Camps are the best way to introduce kids to coding, STEM and robotics as well as outside sports and activities. Kids will discover new tech skills in an energetic, kid-friendly learning environment. Kids can expect a common sense mix of instructions, breaks, social times, team building, outdoor play, optional sports and other creative tech activities. Our goal is to expose children to computer science in a way that builds their confidence, establishes healthy screen habits and encourages life-long learning. ​

Our Bellingham Summer Camps will be at our Meridian location next to Cornwall Park (starting week of 6/15 through the week of 8/24) and two weeks in Ferndale (weeks of 6/22 and 6/29) at Eagleridge Elementary School again! All camps run 10am-3pm with some camps having Pre and Post Care! See all our location maps here.

All Ferndale and Bellingham camps will include our popular Movie Night at our Bellingham Club House and Pre and Post Care will be offered during camps the weeks of 8/3, 8/17 and 8/24 ($150 per week) in Bellingham!

The cost for Bellingham 5 day camps is $465 and Ferndale is $375 and we request a max of three camps per year.

The (not so) Fine Print

  • All Camps are Monday-Friday, 10am - 3pm and include a movie night on Thursdays for all camps!

  • A note about ages:
    We know kids grow and learn at different rates, and our goal is for every camper to feel successful, appropriately challenged, and happy. If your child is on the younger side and you’d prefer a younger camp, just let us know—we’re happy to help. If your child is 7, has attended before, and is a strong reader, we’re also glad to place them in an older camp.

    A quick tip: please email us before Feb 1st so we can get everything set up for you—our camps fill quickly, and we don’t want you to miss out and we get super busy when registration opens!

    The same flexibility applies at the upper end as well. Fifth graders may attend a middle school camp if they’ve been with us before and you’re comfortable with them spending time with older students (up to age 14). Some kids are ready for that step and some aren’t—it’s entirely your call.

  • Each camp theme may be taken once per child.

    We offer a wide variety of camps so everyone gets a fresh experience each time! If a child is registered for the same camp more than once, one of the duplicate registrations will be canceled and 75% of the camp fee will be refunded.

  • Pre and Post Care will be offered during camps the weeks of in Bellingham 8/3, 8/17 and 8/24

  • Waitlists

    WORD TO THE WISE: Don’t be afraid of waitlists (the only way to get on one, is to register by clicking on the word “Waitlist” by the camp you want and going through the process)! Things change all the time and most camps see a few kids cancel/change dates before the summer starts. Despite giving your credit card, YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED until you agree, in writing, if you want the camp. We pinky promise. We wish we didn’t have to ask for your credit card but the software requires it! If there is no “Waitlist” or “Register” available, the waitlist is full (all are capped at 8)

  • Cancellations, Refunds and Transferring between camps/weeks

    We understand that life changes, even with the best intentions and plans (especially when you have to book in February, we hear you - we have kids too!). We also know that many decisions here at The Coding and Robotics Club are put into action based on enrollment expectations. In light of this, 10% of the cost is non-refundable, regardless of when you cancel. After that, refund amounts are based on how far in advance we receive the written request prior to camp start. 

    • 75% refund thirty (30) or more days before start of camp (not including 10% non-refundable registration fee).

    • 50% refund fourteen (14) or more days before start of camp (not including 10% non-refundable registration fee).

    • 25% refund thirteen (13) days or less before start of camp (not including 10% non-refundable registration fee).

    • No refunds after camp starts.

    • You may change camps to any other camp with space up to one month before the camp you are changing to is set to start. We will do our best to allow camp changes closer than one month if possible, but not guaranteed.
