THE SUMMER COMPUTER CAMP FOR KIDS (AGE 9-13)

The Digital Media Academy offers separate courses for kids, age 9-13 (at all its campus locations), called Digital Media Adventures. Like DMA's teen courses, the hallmark of Adventures is its superior instructors. They are real-world industry professionals, working in the fields of 3D animation, video production and game design who also have a passion for teaching kids. With an average student-to-instructor ratio of 5 to 1, kids get lots of attention! Choose from the following topics:
  • Adventures in Robotics
  • Adventures in Film making & Effects
  • Adventures in Game Design
  • Adventures in 3D Game Design Extreme
  • Adventures in Web Design & Flash
Kids typically stay 2 or more weeks, combining topics for a more rounded experience or taking the same course a second or third time to explore more advanced techniques. Kids staying on campus are housed separately from teens, grouped by gender and age, and supervised by our dedicated Adventures live-in adult counselors. 

A Well Rounded Experience for Your Child

At Digital Media Adventures, we strike a balance between in-class learning and out-of-doors fun. We recognize that kids need to move! We take breaks for recreation in the morning and afternoon. Evenings and weekends are packed with more organized outdoor activities with weekend trips to amusement parks, Lazer Tag facilities, video arcades and more. Our adult supervisors ensure a fun and safe time for everyone!

 

"As a mom, I was extremely impressed by
the quality of the course my child took."
