Virtual Holiday CampsTake your coding skills to the next level by building a 2D adventure game using both drag & drop and JavaScript.
We asked 10,000 Spark kids what they'd love to create next, and then put our creative team to the task of bringing this to life as a brand new course. Mission accomplished. But we also added more logic, more code, more problem solving... and introduced JavaScript, the language of the web!
Starting from scratch, students will build a website on a topic of their choice using pure HTML, CSS & JavaScript!
Web Builders is the only Code Camp where you can learn HTML & CSS, the framework every web page is built in!
You can access all the same tools used at our camps at home and carry on coding with our new video tutorials.
Welcome to Spark, our most popular Code Camp that is loved by 80,000 kids and counting! Over 3 days, your 7-12 year old will embrace their creative spark as they design and code their very own computer games.
Your kids will make new friends, learn to build apps, and enjoy problem solving with technology, puzzles, apps and more.
We know how important it is that kids get the right amount of 'screen time' versus physical activities. Expect iPad activities, board games, outdoor fun and more!
Build awesome mini-games and learn about coding in the process. It's so much fun they don't realise they're building new skills at the same time!
Our friendly and experienced staff will be waiting to greet you at camp. Look out for our Camp Manager in an orange Code Camp t-shirt, they’re also a qualified teacher and first aid trained. Once you’ve signed in your child, it’s time to say goodbye to let your kids make new friends and then embark on their coding adventure!
Before we get started with the coding, we’re going to spend some time with your kids brainstorming and digital storytelling; choosing magical backgrounds, a hero (think Mario or Luigi), and designing the first level of our game - every child’s game will look completely unique.
Once designed and your child has an idea of their storyline, we’ll start to use block coding to make our environment interactive and bring our world to life, including:
Day two is where your child’s game becomes a blockbuster; with baddies, snowball-throwing-unicorns, spinning platforms and deadly lava!
Day two is all about brainstorming, designing, and then coding the fun elements that will set your game apart from the others.
It’s the final day of Spark and we’re getting ready to unleash our creations into the world for all to play!

Like a good book, each website starts with an idea. Assuming your kids have brought in their favourite photos on a USB stick, we can get straight into brainstorming the layout of their website. From there, we’ll start to learn the basics of HTML & CSS as our website comes to life.

With the homepage complete, we can now start to create menus, forms, videos, photos and engaging content to excite our visitors. We’ll also be learning about and adding stylesheets, adding buttons, maps and so much more!
It's time to put the finishing touches on our brand-new website! Today, we'll be:
