With one computer per student and an average of five students per staff, campers are given the attention they need to excel. Each program immerses campers in a creative and fun learning environment, enabling them to harness the power of technology while having a blast and completing a final project with leading products which industry professionals use.

Read why parents and students prefer iD Tech Camps:

  • Outstanding Staff - No Counselors-In-Training (CITs). iD Tech Camps hires only trained adult counselors to teach the courses and supervise the camps.
  • A high returning rate for the staff which is indicative of how the camps are run. This also means that students will see familiar faces each summer.
  • A mandatory, comprehensive in-person staff training covering safety, supervision, curriculum, and instilling the passion for technology in children.
  • Regional Managers who manage a set of camps, have daily contact with their Directors and evaluate their staff each week.
  • Multiple, unannounced site visits from the corporate office throughout the summer to complete detailed evaluations and provide feedback to the camp staff.
  • Background checks and reference checks on ALL staff.
  • Requirement that ALL Directors and Lead Instructors are CPR/First Aid Certified. 
  • ACA Accredited at various locations. In addition, all iD Tech Camps locations meet and surpass much of the criteria set forth by the ACA.
  • Camps are located at prestigious universities which helps set high standards for campers to pursue a college degree.
  • An average of only five students per staff.
  • Instructors teach hands-on instead of depending on online tutorials to teach students.
  • In-depth, focused, project-based curriculum.  Consequently, students come away with solid skill sets using hardware and software that professionals use in the industry.
  • Personalized customer service where the phone is quickly answered and Client Service staff work during summer weekends to answer client calls.
