Skagit Summer Camp 2024 Information
Skagit Coding and Robotics Club 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 Skagit summer camps currently planned to be both at Westview Elementary School, next to Burlington-Edison Hight School (515 W Victoria Ave, Burlington, WA 98233) just two blocks from our Skagit Club House and in Mount Baker at Immaculate Conception Regional School’s Saint Joseph’s Center (215 N 15th St, Mount Vernon, WA 98273 between Skagit Valley Hospital and Mount Vernon High School).
All camps will include our popular Movie Night at our Burlington Club House and Pre and Post Care during the week of 7/15!
2024 Skagit Summer Camp Themes and Dates

Dates: 7/29-8/2
Time: 10am-2pm/3pm
Ages: 5-8This camp uses a variety of robots to teach STEM, building and coding to our youngest adventurers. This camp is specifically designed for kids ages 5-8 years old to encourage fun, teamwork, curiosity, critical thinking, courage, and creativity. The summer is for experiential learning and The Coding and Robotics Club answers the call! It’s time to take off and build STEM skills that will build the foundation for many years to come. Reading is helpful but not required and camp will end at 2pm with outdoor free time and pick up from 2-3pm (we know those little ones get tired after a day of fun!)

At night monsters come out, make sure to build a shelter before that happens! Campers will face new challenges each day, building models from the popular Minecraft game as well as motorized versions of Minecraft characters like friendly Goats, spinning Blazes, speedy Baby Zombies, and, of course, the dreaded Creeper and Ender Dragon! We will also dabble in Minecraft at the end of the day for some teamwork and lessons in their favorite game. Don’t forget the hands on STEM Minecraft and Lego projects and big group games - Phew it’s going to be a busy week!

Time: 10am-3pm
Ages: 7-12To infinity and beyond - that’s where space exploration can take us! Join us for a Space Camp that will let your astronaut learn about the science and technology concepts behind space flight. Learn and experiment with electrical circuits, a space flight simulation, architecture and building projects, and the physics of space travel, campers will design, experiment, and problem solve with computer programs and hands-on projects. as well as outdoor team building activities!
-
Dates: 7/29 and 7/8
Time: 10am-3pm
Ages: 8-12This is not your ordinary Coding Camp, we are taking gaming and coding to a new level! Each camper will learn new coding skills and make their own video games, explore the world of AI with coding and robotics as well as join teams and compete with several different Esport platforms such as Smash Brothers and Rocket League. And because it’s summer, we will have quality off screen time hands on STEM projects like building rockets, science experiments, electricity and more STEM!
-
Dates: 7/22 - 7/26
Time: 10am-3pm
Ages: 8-14TechGurlz Camp is based on our popular TechGurlz class and is a gender-inclusive program designed with girls ages 9-14 in mind. We take the pressure off so girls can get straight to what matters—building a love of tech and bringing meaningful projects to life with unabashed creativity. We let them take the lead but plan on offering 3D design and printing, graphic design with Canva, coding stories and games with Scratch, website design with HTML, digital photography and film editing, GarageBand music creation, laser cutting jewelry or wherever their curiosity takes them!
And newly added - Middle School Coding and Robotics Camp on Aug 24th!

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)! We have a few weeks where we can drop in camps and we will choose the dates and type of camps based on what camps/dates have the most waitlists. Those on the waitlists will be sent an invitation to register first. 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.
