Enjoy Gaming, Events and More
Campers always have something exciting to do at SummerTech. They can play games or relax during free time in the afternoon and evening.

Find Your People and Passion
We believe that mentorship and community can transform a favorite hobby into a passion for life. Our team gives young people interested in technology a space where they can explore what they love with like-minded peers. Learn how to have fun with tech from former campers who understand you.
