Computer Camp Leadership at Cybercamps Summer Computer Camp

Skip Navigation

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.

- Christopher B., camper

Who We Are

Cybercamps Academy, our summer computer camp for youth, is part of the Giant Campus family of youth programs. Now in our 12th year, Cybercamps Academy has established itself as the most innovative national summer technology program available. With more than a decade of summers under our belts, Cybercamps Academy is widely regarded as the premier summer program for kids who are interested in computers and technology. We’ve retained this important distinction by continuing our dedication to innovation. Finally, we go well beyond teaching technology skills by instilling in kids the importance of thinking critically, working collaboratively and communicating effectively - essential 21st century skills that they need to thrive in school and in their future endeavors.

Giant Campus, parent company to Cybercamps Academy, is the global leader in technology education for youth and offers the only summer computer program with Web-based courses. Our courses are built around the individual - allowing participants to learn at their own pace. It’s not only time spent in front of the computer, though. Participants still play outdoor games, and participate in team-based activities, like Wacky Water Wednesdays.

Giant Campus is a four-time honoree of Washington CEO magazine’s Best Companies to Work For award, winning top honors in 2000 and finishing in the top ten for 2004, 2005 and 2006. Giant Campus is also the winner of the Homestreet Bank’s Small Business Spotlight Award for 2006.

While there are a lot of really terrific people who make Cybercamps Academy happen each year, two in particular have helped to shape this program into the national leader it is today.
