We Built the Tech Camp We Were Searching For

At SummerTech, everything starts with a conversation. SummerTech isn’t about screens. It’s about what happens around them.

A camper may arrive because they want to learn Python, animate a character, build a 3D universe, or make a film, but that’s just the beginning.

Campers meet people who share their interests and introduce them to entirely new ones. By Friday, they have teachers who know how they think, friends to look for at lunch, and ideas about what they want to try next.

Our son attended the camp for the first time in 2026. We have been looking for a tech oriented camp that was both fun and also pushed campers to go deep on his/her interests in tech. Summertech was the perfect fit. The staff was great. We look forward to returning.

SummerTech was absolutely amazing! Our son learned so much, gained a ton of confidence, and looked forward to going every single day. He even stayed for dinner whenever he could because he loved spending time with the counselors and getting to know the other campers. The instructors were incredible and really made him feel supported and excited to learn. It was such a great experience, and he is already looking forward to going back!

My son has been going to Summertech for the last three years. He loves it so much! The owner, directors and counselors are fantastic. If your kid is more academic then athletic this is an amazing choice. The kids get so much attention and learn so much. Best part is they are learning and having fun at the same time.

If your child is endlessly curious but has a hard time finding friends who share their interests, SummerTech might just become the place where they finally belong. That was our family five years ago. During his first summer, he spent most of his days glued to a computer, completely immersed in coding and game development. We were simply so happy to see him genuinely excited to wake up and go to SummerTech every day. Then came the second summer. I still remember seeing him sitting in the audience at Open Mic Night, clapping and cheering for other campers. It may have seemed like a small moment, but to me, it was deeply moving. I watched him laughing with the counselors. Later, he naturally found friends his own age. No one had to push him. Once he found a place where he was accepted for who he was, he began expanding his world on his own. SummerTech helped us realize something that changed the way we saw our son. Even if he didn’t always fit into his local school community, he would be okay. He would find his people. He would build meaningful friendships. The confidence and social skills he gained there have stayed with him, and today he’s happy and thriving at school. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found a community filled with bright, kind, and genuinely welcoming young people. SummerTech gave our son so much more than coding—it gave him a place where he truly belonged.

This is so much more than a camp! Two of my kids have gone, both for computer coding and for animation, and thrived here. The community is so warm and welcoming, they really make every kid feel so special and important, and the kids learn a ton while making friends for life. Now that my older child is a teacher at the camp, I see also how much they invest in teaching their staff life skills, mentoring skills, and “soft skills” for their adult lives. Amazing place!

We are beyond happy to have discovered SummerTech - we only wish we'd found out about it sooner! Our rising 9th grade daughter had an amazing couple of weeks learning Python (basically 1:1 instruction with a phenomenal teacher), hanging out with like-minded kids, and having an absolutely brilliant time. The staff, counselors, and instructors are truly amazing, and the overall setup and schedule couldn't be better. She's already looking forward to going for longer and learning Java next summer!!! Thank you SummerTech and see you next year!

SummerTech has been an amazing experience for my son, who has spent a week there for the past two summers, learning computer coding. The learnings he's gained through one-on-one instruction have supported his goal in becoming a programmer for his robotics team. In addition to the robust curriculum, the camp offers other benefits that differentiate them from other camps - a focus on a fun and positive learning environment, and a variety of activities that build confidence, leadership and friendships. The staff truly cares about the kids and most of them were previously campers, which is a true testament to what a fantastic camp this is. Thank you, SummerTech for being the BEST tech camp around!
