I feel like when I design games, the ideas flow from my mind onto the computer screen.

- William P., camper

I was highly impressed with the training given to the counselors. Consistently, they introduce themselves to the parents, shake hands, talk knowledgably about the kids, share information, and have positive attitudes.

- Kristin E., parent

I liked the fact that we weren't just sitting at computers all day long.

- Spencer A., camper

My son felt free to be himself, and was treated with respect. The instruction over and above the curriculum was excellent. It was age perfect and at the same time, allowed him to soar with his imagination.

- Loretta K., parent

The staff was friendly, always smiling, always on time, and we knew that our kid was at a safe place with them.

- Michael M., parent

I really like how free time and coursework are evenly spaced out.

- Jacqueline W., camper

Our son loved it so much that he did extra chores all summer long to earn enough money to purchase the software he used in camp.

- Connie R., parent

The teachers really know what they are doing and they are really cool. Also, there is really great software that's easy to use and fun. Overall it was terrific.

- Miles E., camper

My son went to a different computer camp last year and it was not such a great experience. They were so impersonal and my son hated it. This year was such a different experience. He had such a wonderful time at Cybercamps. He loved every minute of it and cannot wait to attend again next year.

- Reed D., parent

Julie looks forward to attending Cybercamps all year and encourages her friends to join in. She learned quite a bit and become more independent because of Cybercamps and the great staff there.

- Elaine H., parent

This is a really fun camp because it taught me so much and I did so much in just one week!

- Dillon R., camper

I have only good things to say about the entire operation. I found the counselors and directors to be excellent. They were extremely helpful to me and to my grandson.

- Jane M., parent

The skills that I gained at Cybercamps have helped me to grow as a person, student and friend.

- Jared S., camper

My son Miles had a blast and can't say enough good things about you and the program. He seems so engaged and is learning a lot. He loves you guys!!

- Priscilla E., parent

I liked the freedom to work at your own pace on your own projects.

What Makes Cybercamps Academy Unique

Before you send your child to just any summer computer camp, you're going to want to consider Cybercamps Academy. There are a lot of options available when choosing a summer technology program, but you'll want to make sure you get a proven national leader and not just a regional or mom-and-pop computer camp.

It's a proven fact that no other summer technology program comes close to matching Cybercamps Academy where it really matters! Here are just a few reasons why Cybercamps Academy continues to be viewed as the only program of its kind.

Cybercamps Academy is the only summer computer program that dives deep into the real-world applications of what our participants are learning.

We make time each day to discuss how the skills our participants are learning can be immediately applied when it comes time to choose a career path. In Giant Future, campers will select a career that sounds compelling to them and spend an hour on a project or simulation using that industry's programs and real data. YouChoose.team are activities that mirror the real world work dynamic where we collaborate to produce some creative multimedia content. We'll also become more Cyber Savvy, discussing Web safety, network security and protecting your identity, and we'll play Copyright Courtroom, where we make participants more aware of potential pitfalls when using resources to create their own projects. You won't find these fun, yet completely practical learning opportunities at any other computer camp!

Cybercamps Academy is the only summer computer program that uses research-proven teaching methods and curriculum.

That's right, we're the only ones - and this is one of the Cybercamps Academy advantages that other summer programs haven't been able to copy. An independent research study involving the Cybercamps Academy curriculum and teaching model, conducted by Dr. Michelle O'Brien Palmer, found that compared to other teaching models and curriculum approaches, Cybercamps Academy courses significantly increase higher-order thinking skills in kids.

Cybercamps Academy is the only summer computer program with Web-based courses. This means that our courses are built around the individual - allowing you to learn what you want to at your own pace.

Web-based courses are unique to Cybercamps Academy. This allows your child the ability to learn project-based skills at their own pace with strong support from our highly-trained counselors and staff. This is important because not every child learns at the same pace. In fact, this unique feature is one of the most important attributes highlighted in the independent research study (see above).

Cybercamps Academy has the lowest student to staff ratio for a national summer computer technology program.

Our national average is 1 to 5*. This means there is one paid, adult staff member for every five program participants. Unlike most other summer technology programs where the director is away in an administrative office, at Cybercamps Academy this most senior and responsible person is right there in the classroom. They are supervising staff, helping participants, and ready to talk with parents and share a child's progress. The academy directors in our program know each child by name, and they mentor and instruct them daily. Our academy directors are also trained to supervise healthcare and safety within the program.

* In some locations, the ratio of staff to campers is 1 to 4 - even better than our national average. To ensure each camper receives individual attention, we cap our ratio at 1 to 7.

Cybercamps Academy has unmatched expertise and experience in training youth.

Our courses are developed by professional educators and technology experts who have more than one million hours of in-person instruction and more than 200 years of combined experience. Stack those numbers up against any other company and it's easy to see why the Cybercamps Academy program outperforms all others.

Cybercamps Academy is the only national computer and technology camp to offer an intensive Teen Leadership Program.

Our one-of-a-kind Teen Leadership Program offers an excellent opportunity for teens to participate in Cybercamps Academy and learn leadership skills as Counselors-in-Training (CITs). Our unique program develops the critical skills kids need in today's schools. This program is an ideal preparation for college success and even a future career! And, it's wildly popular! Our Teen Leadership Program sells out early each year as teens and parents continue to see the value in this type of unique experience.

Hey Parents: Just a quick note to clarify some misinformation being spread about our program. Only professionally-trained adults are chosen to be our camp directors and instructors. In fact, most of our directors and staff are teachers during the regular school year. Counselors-in-Training (CITs) do not teach our courses. They can't - they're too busy working in their own program.

The Cybercamps Academy curriculum and courseware is actively used by school districts, universities, Fortune 500 companies, and even the U.S. Government.

Cybercamps Academy is a national program and a worldwide brand that has been taught in Korea, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and China. Because of our strong reputation as the only computer training program of its kind, every branch of the U.S. Military has contracted with Cybercamps Academy to bring this program to installations across the nation to train the youth in their communities. This kind of reach only comes from being the recognized leader! Our curriculum is also used extensively throughout the US in virtual high schools and public school districts.

Other reasons why Cybercamps Academy is really the best place to learn something cool this summer:

Fantastic "special-interest projects" at each location. These include audio editing, 3D animation, music videos, video production, and more!
A 1:1 computer-to-student ratio. Our program is hands-on and kids don't have to wait for a computer to work on their projects.
Our courses are always being updated to match the latest software releases and technologies.
Discounts on many software titles you might want to buy after Cybercamps.
When it gets hot, we cool down with our weekly water games. (Plan to not only get wet, but have a blast soaking the camp director with a cold bucket of water down the back!)
Camps filled with board games for “offline” fun and play.
Networked gaming tournaments within camp and between other camps nationwide.
Outdoor games and activities including basketball, Ultimate Frisbee™, Capture-the-Flag, and more!
In-camp Dance-Dance-Revolution™ for anyone who wants to “shake it baby!”

Cybercamps is the coolest summer computer and technology camp. The Cybercamps summer computer camps offer courses in game design, web design, Flash animation, computer programming, robotics, and more.
