What’s the best way to choose the right programming camp for your child? First, think more seriously about your child: their age, experience, interests, and goals.
Then, of course, you should look closely at camps themselves. Talk to directors and staff, and visit camps if possible. Find out as much as you can about each camp to determine whether it’s the right fit for your child.
Here are some key questions you’ll want to ask:
You may then need to drill down even further. For instance, if it’s a camp focusing on programming languages, ask the following questions:
For further guidance on choosing the right camp for your child, check out the following resources:
Camp might seem like an easy decision, but it’s not. There are many types of camps—in fact, there are many types of computer programming camps! It’s best to get a sense of the landscape before you make your decision. A great place to start is the Our Kids camp expo, held each winter in Toronto. You’ll find many camps there, including computer programming camps, and you can speak with directors, staff, and campers. We also offer valuable information sessions at the expo.
