PC Codes is now offering our 6th year of technology summer camps for children in the Park City area. Our camps are designed to be engaging, hands-on, creative and fun. In our week-long sessions, students will learn about a concept in computer science, practice that concept, and work with other campers to create and display an end-of-week capstone project. We are able to differentiate our camps so that both beginners and experts will feel challenged and have fun. Our camps are designed for kids age 8-14.
Who we are: PC Codes is organized by career educators specializing in making computer science approachable and fun.
All summer camps will take place at the Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church at the base of the Canyons Resort in Park City. (We are not affiliated with the church and our camps are nonreligious). We have a large, bright indoor space to work on projects and an outdoor patio for snack and break times.

Take your Minecraft Skills to the next level with this fun, collaborative camp where we learn about some of humanity's most stunning architectural achievements and work together to reconstruct them in the world of Minecraft. Campers will learn that Minecraft is more than just a game, it can also be a first step in immersive, computer aided 3D Design. Campers will have to work together to design, collect resources and construct buildings. At the end of camp, we will present a gallery tour of our creations. This camp is geared towards children ages 8 -14.
Harness the power of code in Minecraft to instantly summon towers of TNT, make chickens rain from the sky or give yourself superpowers like Mega Jump. We will start by using Minecraft to learn some basics of coding including variables, functions, loops, Boolean logic and much more. We will then apply what we have learned to create some amazing Minecraft structures and even learn a little about math and science along the way. We will even have a few fun survival matches and free build activities thrown in to improve our creativity and teamwork skills. Ages 8-14
Let your Minecraft creativity run wild as we work together to design and build a fabulous and sustainable city of the future. In this camp we will be working together to solve challenges in Minecraft such as biodiversity, sustainable cities, futuristic vehicles like flying cars and monorails, redstone manufacturing, renewable energy, future farms and even scientific research stations in different biomes. We won't forget to make sure our cities have a little fun like amusement parks and water parks. This camp will stretch the creativity and abilities of both new Minecraft users and experts alike and is perfect for campers aged 8 -14.
In Minecraft Hacking, we will learn how to use Redstone to make cool circuits that can trigger traps, move doors and play music - even cook chickens and vend snacks. We will also design our own skins and create mods and custom items and mobs. We will even get to design our own worlds and characters from scenes from our favorite movies. We will also explore the chemistry crafting features to create colorful fireworks and helium balloons that can float (and carry pigs in the sky).If you enjoy Minecraft and hacking and modifying with technology, you are going to love this camp geared toward children ages 8 - 14.
