Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:

Most summer camps either keep kids busy or try to teach something. Few do both well. At iCode Ann Arbor, kids spend the day building things they are actually excited about and stay engaged from start to finish.

Over the course of a week, students might design their own Roblox or Minecraft game, build and program a robot, or create a project they can share with you at the end. These are projects kids are proud to show you.

This is not passive screen time. Kids are creating, problem-solving, and working through real challenges with guidance.

Camps run full-day from 9 am to 5 pm, which makes them a practical option for working parents. The environment is structured and instructor-led, with small groups so that each student gets support and keeps progressing.

iCode is part of a national program with a proven STEM.org accredited curriculum. iCode camps are designed for a wide range of ages and experience levels, with a clear structure from day one.
