STEAM summer camps in NYC that truly teach new skills

A holistic STEAM program where campers learn by doing

Become a creator! iCAMP’s NYC summer camp programs focus on teaching STEAM topics like coding, robotics, studio and graphic art, science, filmmaking, video game design, 3D printing, and more.

 

We recruit real teachers based upon their experience, passion for teaching, and ability to make projects engaging. A staff to camper ratio of 4:1 or better ensures campers truly learn and are supported during fun, project-based activities.

 

Camps are hosted at beautiful independent schools, such as Dalton and Trevor Day. Plenty of time is spent outside in nearby parks playing summer camp games and enjoying nature

iCAMP STEAM Summer Camp

For innovators between the ages of 5 and 13 (grouped by age)

iCAMP’s STEAM camp program has the familiar format and feel of summer camp but is designed to genuinely teach campers. Each day, campers rotate between workshops led by teachers who are specialists in their topics. Throughout the week campers build upon what they learn each day to build increasingly more sophisticated projects.

 

Of course, it is summer, so we take trips to the park each day to learn about nature, get some fresh air, and play summer camp games!

iCAMP Junior Summer Camp

For innovators aged 3 and 4

Our “Junior” NYC summer camp program is a hybrid between a STEAM preschool and a traditional summer camp. The day is designed to feel like a day of camp, with plenty of time for play, while also using hands-on projects to teach core STEAM and academic concepts. The goal of each week is to continue each child’s education, while also truly enjoying summer.

 

We spend time at a park every day playing games, learning about nature, and conducting outdoor workshops. On rain days we play in our indoor movement spaces!
