“My children had a great time at Code Camp. Both my 8 year old novice programmer and my more experienced 11 year old enjoyed working with their app base system.”

“Code Camp was an excellent experience and lots of fun. It was amazing how we got to code our very own games, which was an opportunity that I had to take. The staff were kind and supportive and always willing to help. Louis David-Hooper, age 11.”

Hi Louis, Thanks for dropping in to write us a review. We're so glad you enjoyed your time at Code Camp!! Don't forget you can keep coding at home using your Code Camp World log in details and if you need any inspiration we have plenty of video tutorials. Hope to see you at our 2D Game Makers camp in the future. Thanks again, Mary & the Code Camp team

“My daughter came back on each of the 3 days stating that she had had the best time ever; she was so delighted by the work she had done and that she had made her very own App. Of course she then showed me how to play on it and helped me through the trickier moves. She is 7!!!”

Hi Joanne, Thanks for taking the time to review Code Camp. We're so pleased your daughter had a great time and was excited to show off her creation. Here at Code Camp HQ we are still constantly blown away by what a 7-year-old can achieve! Many thanks, Mary & the Code Camp team

“My son Elliott had the best time at Code Camp. He has ASD and sometimes finds it hard to settle in to new situations; however at Code Camp he immediately felt at home. From his amazingly warm and enthusiastic welcome from the team to every day he explained as ‘flying by’, he honestly told me he enjoyed every single second and learned a lot. Code Camp was extremely well organised and inclusive, my son thoroughly enjoyed himself and already has stressed to me it’s very important he returns in the summer! Thanks a million Team!”

Hi Sally, WOW! What a wonderful review from you and your son! We're delighted he had a great experience and very keen to see him again in the Summer. Thanks for the kind words :)

“My son had a wonderful 3 days at Code Camp. Like many kids of his age, he has a keen interest in games so to have the opportunity to build his own and learn how, was an incredible experience for him. I popped in to the room a few times to see how he was getting on and what stood out was how passionate the teachers were and this made the environment relaxed, fun but also made learning more interesting for all of the children. He has been so proud of his hard work and has taken great delight in showcasing his achievements to friends and family. It was also a great opportunity for my son to mix with a diverse mix of children and like many others over the three days, he made lots of new friends too. I highly recommend Code Camp and will certainly look to sign him up again when the chance arises. Thank you”

Hi Matthew, Thanks for the kind words! We'll be sure to pass them on to our awesome teachers who work hard to make Code Camp a blast for the kids :)

“My daughter went to Code Camp knowing not very much at all about coding, or had any clue about how games are constructed. She took to it as if she had been coding all her life! The teaching by the young team was amazing, she learned a new skill, made some new pals, had a lot of fun and gained a huge amount of confidence. It's great to give kids this kind of exposure to a new skill outside of school, where it feels less like learning and more like holiday club - can't recommend the course enough.”

“I have to say that when I told my 12 year old daughter she was going to Code Camp she was not best pleased and felt it was extra work on her school holiday. After Day 1 her opinion had changed and I asked her to rank her experience out of 10 (6 she said). On Day 2 it had risen to 9.5 and by Day 3 it was 10/10. At the end of Day 3 as we were about to leave she was in tears at the thought that she was finishing and that she wouldn't see her fellow Code Campers again (one particular girl was like a sister to her and the staff noticed it too). She was very excited about the game she created and has shared it with friends and family. I would definitely recommend Code Camp to others and my daughter will be interested in attending another event in the future.”

“My son absolutely loved his first Code Camp! He was so eager to show us what he had learnt each day! Well organised, loved the T-shirt/Cap and the Medal of acknowledgment at the end of the 3 days! We've already booked for the next one!”

“My two children (boy Cormac age 9, girl Isobel 11) attended the Rydes Hill School camp in the Christmas holidays 2018 (3 days). Absolutely loved it and I have recommended you to the Head of IT and Head master at my son's school (Aldro). I really hope that you hear from them as I haven't heard further as quite a few parents there expressed an interest....many thanks and please let me know if you are holding any other camps in the Guildford area (as Weybridge and Cobham are too far for me to get to and work really!) Thanks.”

“I really like Code Camp world because you don't rush through it you take your time and give lots of help if I need it. It is really good fun because you can create your very own unique game. All the people are very friendly.”

“I’m giving this a 4 due to my child’s overall enjoyment - they loved the camp and would very happily return. However, we had a couple of niggles which made me not entirely confident about the camp as a parent. First of all I found it very difficult to speak to the provider before booking. When I dropped off and picked up none of the staff were wearing name badges and didn’t introduce themselves by name either. This meant I didn’t feel I had a contact to discuss any issues with. On the final day all the children were brought out to the car park to be collected at 3.30 pm despite the fact that pick up is scheduled to run up to 4.30. It was a rainy day and I don’t think that’s a great experience for kids that might be left waiting until 4.30 pm outside in February! At this age (7+) I would expect them to stay in the base room with activities until collected, with that service offered until 4.30 pm, because the parents have paid for care up to that time. I appreciate that the camp is a three day block where skills develop throughout the programme, but I would prefer self contained one day sessions. I also felt the price was too high for three days.”

Hello, I'm very pleased to hear your child enjoyed Code Camp and thank you for taking the time to write a review! We're disappointed that some elements of your experience were not up to Code Camp standards, so I'd love to address some of your concerns: We do endeavour to get back to every email and voice message within 24 hours, but typically it's much quicker. I will definitely be checking in with the customer support team to ensure these standards are being maintained. In terms of pick up, I agree that it is unacceptable for the children to be waiting outside at this time of the year! Our classes start at 9 am and finish at 3:30 pm, with drop off from 8:30 am and pick up until 4 pm. In the drop off/pick up time children are encouraged to participate in offline activities supervised by the instructors, while the Camp Manager electronically signs children in/out as their carers arrive. If the weather permits, the meeting area is outdoors so children can play on the school equipment during this 30-minute window. During the cooler months, the meeting spot should be inside. I'm very sorry to hear that this was not the case at the camp your child attended. Additionally, all of our facilitators are provided with Code Camp uniforms and name badges to make them easily identifiable to the children and parents. Would you mind telling me which camp your child attended so I can address the above points with the Camp Manager to ensure they don't happen again? Thanks again for the feedback, I will be flagging these issues with the relevant people to ensure the Code Camp experience is great for both children and parents. Warm regards, Mary

“Kids had a great time. Teachers were very helpful. It would be great to have (help) all kids present their apps and speak for a few secs rather than picking up 2 kids to present their work”

Hi Vinay, Thanks for leaving us a review! At the majority of our camps all of the children get the opportunity to present their games at the award ceremony, it sounds like maybe in this instance they ran out of time! The last afternoon of Code Camp kids can be busy de-bugging their awesome games and getting them ready to publish, so this does happen on occasion. I'm glad your child enjoyed the camp, we hope to see you again next time!

“My child went into Code Camp knowing nothing about programming/software development. Having completed a 3-day course and showing me a game that was created, my child wanted to continue the piece of work by showing and describing how to add new levels to the game.”

“Great well run camp for kids who are interested in coding /games. my child loved. My constructive feedback is : be good to have more tasks that encourage collaboration between the kids and critical thinking. And also focus on other apps than just games/entertainment. thx”
