Last year my son went to idTech Camps for the first time. He went for two weeks, taking game design…read morecourses. My son loved the camp. He learned a lot and really liked being around other kids who are passionate about technology. The staff to student ratio is great, so kids get the help and direction they need. The facilities are good, allowing each camper to access the equipment he needs. It's a pricey camp, but worth every dollar. My son is going back this summer.

My now 14-year-old son has attended ID Tech Camps for the past three years. The first year he did…read moreit as a day camper and the second two he had the full experience of the overnight camp. What a tremendous experience. This has given him an opportunity to be around like-minded kids and not only have an educational experience, but a social one as well. As much as he enjoys hanging out with the other campers, he's a huge fan of the instructors too and truly looks up to them. Based on his comments and what I've seen when dropping him off and picking him up, the instructors relate well to the campers. That's a huge plus. As a parent, my expectations for what he gets out of the camp are realistic and have been met every year. I don't expect my son to walk out of there an expert in whatever course he took that week. As long as he had fun, was challenged and inspired, and made some friends if even for a week, it was a worthwhile experience. He's already looking forward to doing it again this year.

I'm so deeply grateful that I took a gap year and it would not have been nearly as fleshed out and smooth without CIP. I did two student programs and then a month of solo travel, then worked for a summer back at home.

The benefits have been long-lasting, helping me in college and hopefully far into the future.
