 Who Should Attend: 

Our Minecraft Coding Camp is perfect for kids aged 8-12 who are new to coding. Whether your child is a beginner or has some experience with coding, our camp offers a welcoming and inclusive environment where kids can learn, explore, and have fun together.

This camp can be combined with the Intro to Robotics with Edison Robots camp in the Afternoon for a full-day camp. If you are having another camp at the Community Center, you can add a LUNCH BREAK  ($10/day) and we can take your children from 12:00 PM onward. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE LUNCH ITSELF - children must bring their own lunch.  If you need assistance with lunch, please contact us.
