June 25, 2021 News: Now that the pandemic seems to be “more under control” people are scrambling to get their elementary and middle school children signed up for summer camps!

Maryland Summer Camps

Maryland summer camps are thriving in 2021. Tennis camps, arts camps, and especially tech camps are getting kids out of the house, around their peers, and enjoying life again!

Summer Camp Coding

Summer camp coding is a fun and educational experience for many children in grades 1 through 8. Initially such kids are drawn to coding from their love of video games. But at Panda Programmer, the beauty and elegance of computer science quickly wins them over. The students see the rewards first hand, of writing clean, well-don code.

Summer Day Camp

Summer day camp is a great way to allow children to experiment with new hobbies and ideas. At Panda Programmer, we welcome both beginning programmers and advanced programmers. Our experienced teachers guide students and allow them to proceed at their own pace. That way students are neither overwhelmed, nor are they bored!

Well, that’s about it for the June 25, 2021 News… See you at summer camp!

One of the BEST camps in Maryland

Panda Programmer is one of the best camps in Maryland. Since 2014 we have offered fun-filled, educational summer camps for students in elementary and middle school grades. The focus for our camps is computer programming (coding). And, of course we have fun!

The theoretical foundation of our camps and classes is Scratch. Scratch is the basic building block of our curriculum. Once campers have mastered the topic of Scratch, we encourage them to try additional topics such as robots, Python, and JavaScript/HTML. Our guiding motto has always been “We don’t just play computer games, we create them!” And this motto continues to be our guiding principle today. We all know, kids in the grades of 1 though 8 are fascinated by video games. The tend to play them a lot! At Panda Programmer we do our best to take the energy from this fascination with these computer games, and translate it into motivation to learn computer science to create games and educational projects. This thinking is critical to kids’ future academic pursuits. The kids love learning, and creating their projects.

Options for camps

Camps in Maryland come in different varieties. Some camps specialize in sports, some in music, and some in art. Traditionally our Panda Programmer summer camp focuses on computer programming. However we like to take breaks and run around outside. We also try to “develop the whole child” by also offering music and foreign language classes as part of our Maryland summer camps.

Our camps in Maryland are offered in full-day and half-day options. Full-day campers arrive at 9 am and leave by 4 pm. Half-day campers have the option of arriving at 9 am and staying until noon, or arriving at 1 pm and staying until 4 pm. Full-day campers bring their own packed lunch from home, and optimally a snack for breaks in the middle of the day as well.

Sign your child up today for a wonderful experience with summer camp coding!
