Techie Camps require a 100% refundable $50 commitment deposit. You will get the full $50 back once your child attends at least 4 out of the 5 days of Techie Camp. There are no extra fees or penalties! We want to ensure every available spot is used by a child who truly wants to participate. In past years, many families registered for free camps but didn’t attend, which left seats empty and other interested students on waiting lists.

IT On Ramp (Grades 8–10)

IT On Ramp connects students to real tech experiences early, helping them explore interests, build skills, and see where technology can take them.

Students build apps and games, explore cybersecurity, and design websites through hands-on projects that connect directly to school success and future pathways. Along the way, they gain skills, confidence, and a clearer sense of what is possible in tech.

Students who complete the program with perfect attendance receive a $200 Tango gift card.
