No prior experience is required for any of our camps. Our instructors teach all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced students.

Some districts offer early-bird discounts or multi-camp discounts, so check the registration page for current pricing.

Can I sign up for multiple camps?

You can also combine a morning camp and an afternoon camp in the same week for a full day of different STEM activities.

Cancellation and refund policies are managed by the district partner hosting the camp. Contact Edina Community Ed directly for information about cancellations, transfers, or refunds. Contact details are available on the registration page.

The Camp Experience

What is a typical camp day like?

A typical camp session starts with the instructor introducing the day's project and teaching new concepts. Students then work hands-on building robots, writing code, or creating designs depending on the topic. The session includes team challenges and creative problem-solving activities. At the end, campers share what they built. Many projects go home with the student. It is a fun, fast-paced learning experience from start to finish.

What should my child bring to camp?

Bring a labeled water bottle, a snack (for half-day camps), or a packed lunch (for full-day camps). For coding or digital camps, send a USB drive with at least 2 GB so your child can save their work and continue at home. All project materials, equipment, and technology are provided by Tech Academy. Your child does not need to bring a laptop or any supplies.

Can I mix and match different camp weeks?

Yes! New sessions start every week from June through August, so you can build your own summer schedule. Try robotics one week and coding the next, or combine a morning camp and an afternoon camp in the same week for a full day of STEM learning. Sign up for as many or as few weeks as you like.

Does my child get to keep what they build?

Yes! For many camps, students take home the projects they create, whether it is a coded game, a 3D-printed object, or a creative design. For camps using shared equipment like robots, students keep any digital work they create and take home the skills and experience they gained.
