Choosing the right summer camp for your child is an important decision, and Panda Programmer Summer Camp makes that choice easy for families throughout Montgomery County. Our programs are designed specifically for children in grades 1 through 8 who want to explore computer programming, robotics, Scratch, Python, and hands-on STEM learning in a fun, structured, and supportive environment. Whether your child is brand new to coding or already comfortable with technology, our camps provide a welcoming space where creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving come together.

Each week of Panda Programmer Summer Camp features engaging lessons, small-group instruction, and projects that grow with your child’s ability. Students begin with block-based programming using Scratch and can advance into text-based languages such as Python and JavaScript as they gain confidence. Campers build animated stories, design their own video games, program robots, and experiment with logic and engineering principles. Parents frequently tell us that our camp gives their children a deeper sense of independence, confidence, and academic readiness heading into the new school year.

We operate summer camps across Montgomery County, including Gaithersburg, Silver Spring, and Bethesda. Beginning in 2026, we will also offer programs at our Washington, DC location at Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church. Families in neighborhoods such as Kentlands, Lakelands, Rockville Town Center, Twinbrook, King Farm, Kensington, Chevy Chase, and surrounding areas will find convenient, highly rated local options. You can explore location-specific information by visiting the Gaithersburg Summer Camp or Bethesda Summer Camp pages.

Our instructors are experienced programmers and patient educators who know how to make complex ideas engaging and approachable for young learners. Each child receives individual attention and support as they work through interactive lessons and personal projects. Class sizes are intentionally kept small to maximize hands-on learning and meaningful progress throughout the week.

Parents also appreciate our balanced daily structure. Each camp day includes a mix of coding lessons, screen breaks, collaborative challenges, and opportunities for students to share their projects with the group. Campers love showing off what they’ve created, and parents love seeing their children gain real skills—skills that continue long after camp ends.

Whether your child dreams of designing video games, programming robots, creating animations, or learning real-world coding, Panda Programmer Summer Camp provides the ideal environment to grow, explore, and have fun.
