A typical day at Tech Academy summer camp in Plymouth
Campers check in with their instructor who gets everyone settled and kicks off the day's project.
Campers work on guided projects like building robots, writing code, designing 3D models, or creating games. Some camps are individual and some are team-based. Our goal is to keep every student engaged.
In engineering and robotics camps, teams test their builds against the challenge set by the instructor.
Campers wrap up by sharing what they built.

About Our Camps
What summer camps are available in Plymouth, MN?
Tech Academy offers 26 hands-on STEM summer camps in Plymouth for 2026. Topics include 3D Printing, Visual Coding, Lego Robotics, Minecraft & Lego Engineering. Camps are designed for students in grades K - 9th and run from June through August, with new sessions starting each week so you can pick the dates that fit your schedule.
What ages are Plymouth summer camps for?
Our Plymouth camps serve students in grades K - 9th (approximately ages 5 to 14). Each camp is designed for a specific grade range so students work with peers at a similar level.
Are there half-day and full-day camp options in Plymouth?
We offer both half-day (morning or afternoon) and full-day camp sessions in Plymouth. Session lengths vary by camp, so check the schedule on this page for specific start and end times. You can mix and match a morning camp and an afternoon camp for a full day of STEM learning.
Does my child need experience to attend a STEM camp?
Your child does not need coding or robotics experience. Instructors explain the tools before students start their projects.
What topics can my child learn at summer camp in Plymouth?
Topics include 3D Printing, Visual Coding, Lego Robotics, Minecraft & Lego Engineering. Each camp focuses on a specific topic. Check the camp schedule on this page to see all 23 topics in Plymouth.
Who teaches the camps?
All Tech Academy camps are taught by trained instructors who are experienced in both the subject matter and working with kids. Instructors are background-checked. Many of our instructors are educators, college students in STEM fields, or tech professionals.
How many kids are in each camp session?
We maintain low student-to-teacher ratios. Depending on the topic, students may work individually or in small teams. Our goal is to keep every student engaged and actively building throughout the session.
Registration & Logistics
How do I register for a summer camp in Plymouth?
Scroll down to the camp schedule on this page, find a camp that interests your child, and click the Register button. You will be taken to the registration page hosted by Wayzata Community Ed, Plymouth Parks & Rec & West Suburban Summer School. Camps fill up quickly, so we recommend registering early.
How much do summer camps cost?
Camp pricing varies by session length (half-day vs. full-day) and duration. Pricing is set by our district partners and shown on the registration page when you click the Register button for any camp. 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?
Many families register their kids for multiple camps throughout the summer. Each week features different topics, so your child can try robotics one week and coding the next. You can also combine a morning camp and an afternoon camp in the same week for a full day of different STEM activities.
What is the cancellation or refund policy?
Cancellation and refund policies are managed by the district partner hosting the camp. Contact Wayzata Community Ed, Plymouth Parks & Rec & West Suburban Summer School 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. At the end, campers share what they built. Many projects go home with the student.
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?
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.
Does my child get to keep what they build?
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.
