At Giant Campus, we’re inspired by today’s youth and the creative ways they approach technology. That’s why we’re dedicated to offering inspiring camp experiences that feature instruction in the latest technology topics, such as game design, game modding, Web design, animation, and video production. And, to help your child gain the leadership skills needed for success in an increasingly competitive global community, we also focus on building collaboration, communication, and critical thinking skills. Over the years, our emphasis on teaching cutting edge technology, along with teamwork skills, has helped thousands of youth reach their full creative potential.

 Youth thrive in learning environments that promote creativity, exploration, and a process of self-paced discovery. With the guidance and mentoring from our professional counselors and staff, our campers use the latest tools to unlock their creativity from our long list of technology partners. They include Apple®, Adobe®, Microsoft,Lego®, Valve®, Gekido Games®, and Clickstream®.

 Giant Campus is accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), and we’re the leader in youth technology camps, with more than 46 camps at prestigious academic institutions across the country, such as UCLA, Stanford University, Duke University, and MIT.

Week-Long Courses – Multi-Week Tracks

At Giant Campus Tech, Digital Media, and Gaming Camp, we understand that kids are more energized when they work on projects that interest and challenge them. That's why we offer week-long courses filled with imaginative projects – each with a different degree of difficulty or time needed to complete. Often, students choose to work on larger individual projects that require learning skills in multiple disciplines.
