My son truly looked forward to attending the “Game Builders”... technology camp each day. He would share the highlights with our family and present what he had learned on computer. He enjoyed it so much that he was disappointed when it finally ended. He already decided that next summer he wanted to be enrolled again. This was a great summer camp option for kids who love a variety of activities. I love that my son was challenged to be a critical thinker while learning the concept of coding to create games.read more

2019-We just finished year 2 of summer Classroom Antics classes- this... time both son and daughter participated. Feel the same way as last year...this year my son took Game Design and Stop Motion Lego Animation and daughter took Lego Programming and Game Design. Both learned lots...2018-Our son had a fantastic time attending both Minecraft and Programming: Creative Coders. I was pleased to see many diverse females and males in his class as coding skills are important for everyone!The instructors were fantastic; we received a daily email with specifics on what our son had done each day. He received a jump drive with all his programs and at the end of the week had learned a great deal and had fun doing so! I especially loved that the class had many hands-on activities so that students were not simply staring at screens for an entire session.We will definitely be back next year and bringing our daughter too, now that she will be ready!read more

Classroom Antics is a wonderful program. My Grandson couldn't wait to... get to class everyday to learn something new. He hated to see camp come to an end. The staff were wonderful! They were friendly and willing to take the extra time to make sure every student understood what was being taught. I would suggest Classroom Antics to all parents and grandparents to sign up their child for the programs.read more

My son was very excited to participate in the program. The staff are... very professional and able to work with kids to get the most for them out of the program. They worked with him and allowed him to do the things that he was interested in. Just the fact that he was participating in activities that helped to expand his interest was awesome. The equipment and apps are all easy to use for a 10 year old. He will be able to build on the skills he learned at home.read more

We sent a youth from our group home to the Video Arcade Design camp... and the staff were so helpful and patient with his needs. The youth we signed up for the camp has emotional and behavioral struggles due to his past with biological family. The staff were so patient, caring and understanding. They didn't make him feel different or out of place. The registration process was seamless, and everything else was perfect also! Will definitely use them in the future for our other youth!read more
