Coding and Game Design 1.0 Aug. 4-7

Get ready to explore the world of coding and game design and create your own unique project! Campers will learn about computer programming concepts and techniques while learning to code interactive computer programs, and games. Delve into multiple coding environments and watch your visions come to life!

Campers will be expected to have their own access to a computer for this program.

All camps will be staffed by Ontario Certified teachers (OCT), teacher candidates in the Faculty of Education program at Ontario Tech University as well as several university students who are returning camp counsellors.  All camp sessions will have small numbers to ensure interactivity and active engagement. There will be a low camper to counsellor ratio with staff working closely with individual groups.  Most camps will have a 4:1 of 5: 1 ratio especially for the program offered for younger campers.

The majority of camps will require minimal parent support once the camp site has been successfully accessed.  Camps for younger children will benefit from some support (or older sibling or adult) at the start of the daily session to ensure that the camper has access to the meeting room.   Counsellors will then be the main support during the camp activities!  Technical support will be available during the camp sessions.

Additional challenges and resources will be available on the camp website for the eager campers who want to explore more on their own
