Looking for a way to keep your child engaged, inspired, and learning during the school break? This summer, give your middle or high schooler a major head start by enrolling them in the Young Tech Summer Camp, a dynamic hands-on program powered by the Colorado African Innovation and Cultural Center (CAICC) and Zoe Innovation Cloud Tech (ZICT).
Designed for students from Grades 5–12 (Ages 10–18), this exciting summer camp runs from June 17 to July 25, taking place Tuesdays through Thursdays from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM at Green Valley School. Every Wednesday is dedicated to educational field trips to some of Colorado’s most inspiring innovation and learning hubs—and the experience wraps up with a special graduation ceremony on July 25 to celebrate your child’s growth.
What Makes This Summer Camp Different?
This summer camp is 100% FREE for eligible families through MySpark.
Rather than the kids spending summer days glued to a screen or slipping behind academically, your child will dive into a rich, project-based curriculum that blends creativity, technology, and real-world exploration. They'll learn how to design apps, build websites, understand cloud and quantum computing, explore AI and cybersecurity, and even master the art of public speaking. It’s not just learning—it’s doing, with expert-led guidance and mentorship every step of the way. Did You Know?
Our summer program is MySpark approved and has earned recognition and praise from STEM educators, parents, and tech professionals. It even received a recommendation from Denver Public Schools for its strong impact on career readiness and workforce development. This is more than a camp—it’s an opportunity to invest in your child's future.
Where Will they Visit?
This isn't your average summer camp. Your child will go beyond the classroom to visit places you may not have time to take them yourself—locations that will open their minds and spark curiosity:
National Renewable Energy Laboratory – See sustainable tech in action
Denver Museum of Nature and Science – Explore science through interactive exhibits
Colorado Air and Space Port – Discover how aviation and aerospace shape our world
Denver Public Library – Learn how to research, innovate, and explore ideas
Space Foundation Discovery Center – Step into the world of space and future tech
These visits will fuel their creativity, deepen their understanding of tech in the real world, and show them how the future is being built—right here in Colorado.
Why It Matters
In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, it’s not enough for kids to just use technology—they need to know how it works, how to improve it, and how to create with it. This summer, they’ll gain future-ready skills, build confidence, and develop a foundational mindset for entrepreneurship and innovation.
So don’t let summer be a break from learning—make it a leap forward. Enroll your child in the Young Tech Summer Camp today and let them spend their summer doing something incredible.
Let them build. Let them dream. Let them lead. Spots are limited—secure your child’s place today!
