Type, Coding, & Minecraft Camp

I was able to sign up for this camp last minute when our schedule changed. It was a great option for our Minecraft-loving daughter. They also brushed up her typing skills and basic coding. I also appreciated they were flexible when I had to pick her up a few minutes late. If you’re ok with it being entirely online and limited outside time, would recommend it.

Our son really enjoyed learning about coding and making Minecraft mods. He wasn't too keen on the typing part, but I'm glad to hear that they practiced typing every day and were evaluated, since it's an important skill to develop.

I'm sure this camp is right for the right target group, however, make sure you're the one!
Our experience (San Mateo location):
- they don't take the kids out to any parks for fresh air
- if your kids enjoy socializing with real people while doing tech, this is more focused on 'tech on your own with headphones'
- it's not really guidance on how to grow and develop skills, so if your kid hasn't been brought up with screens (conscious choice of ours) it might not be the most valuable time spent
Our 8-year-old liked the teachers, and there were plenty of different things to do on the computers, however not very compelling unless you're really into it.

We have done both day camps and a birthday party at Tech Rocks and my son has loved all of it! Basically, he BEGS to go! The birthday party in SF was run so smoothly, it really was a joy for me and my husband! My son is still talking about it as one of his best birthdays ever! The staff was great with a bunch of opinionated and perhaps overly-excited 7 and 8 year old kids :)

My son couldn’t wait to get to his coding camp every morning. He was upset there was a holiday and he couldn’t go because it was closed. He made new friends and learned how to type and code which helped build confidence and skills. I liked that Tech Rocks texts me to notify my son checks in and out every day he attends. I appreciated how one of the teachers also texted me to ask if my son had permission to play a game that was rated a bit more mature for him but is very popular. All in all I’m happy that my son had a great learning experience that was fun and educational.

We would recommend this camp if you’re looking for the technology and computer skills for your kid! For the very first time my son has joined the technology camp so it was his introduction for typing, coding and this camp creates a fun way for the kids to learn also a lot of fun games especially Minecraft . The kids can create their own games as well.

Each day at lunch time , the kids get a nice break time to get out to the park nearby and get fresh air for outdoor playing.

My son and his friend loved their program. He especially liked that the instructors help them individually throughout the day. He loved it so much he felt totally comfortable when I enrolled him again without his friend. I especially love that they charge you use aftercare.
