Coderpillars is designed for kids ages 7 to 12. If you have a child outside of these boundaries whose skill level matches a typical 7–12 year old, contact me to discuss.

Camp takes place at my house which is located in Coles Crossing (Cypress, TX). You’ll receive the address in your confirmation email after registering.

Each session runs for 3 hours a day, 4 days a week (Monday through Thursday). It will run from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

The cost of the camp which runs 3 hours a day, 4 days a week is $125. Payment instructions will be sent after registration.

Nope! I teach children of all experience levels.

You can choose to rent a laptop of mine for the week for a $20 fee, or you can bring your own (recommended). I have a limited number of rental laptops which will be reserved for the first students who opt for them on the registration form and make payment.

If you bring your own laptop, it must meet these requirements:

• Laptops must run Windows or Mac. Chromebooks (aka the ones issued for school) are not allowed as they cannot run our coding software.
• Laptops must have the storage available to download minimal software that will depend on the camp. As long as your storage isn’t completely full, you should be good to go.

All students are strongly encouraged to bring their own snack as there will be a brief snack break halfway through the camp. Upon parental approval, I may give your child an occasional treat/candy. Allergies and dietary restrictions are to be specified on the registration form.

The specific activities will depend on the camp offered that week, but all camps will include:

• Beginner-friendly coding lessons
• Fun science experiments
• Other creative, hands-on activities, such as crafts and games

I make sure to keep screen time balanced with movement, exploration, and creativity.

Each group will have up to 8 kids to ensure a fun, focused experience with lots of personal attention.

Yes, each sibling after the first gets $15 off!

If your child is ill, please keep them home for the safety of everyone. Missed days will not be refunded.

I sometimes take photos during camp to share with parents or for promotional purposes. You’ll have an opportunity to opt in or out during registration.

I accept payments through Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal (F&F). Cash is also accepted.

Once the registration form is completed, you will receive payment instructions. Please note: your child's spot in camp is not secured until payment is received.

• Snack (to be eaten halfway through the 3-hour camp)
• Full water bottle (refills will be available during camp)
