  • Imagine a program for five-year-olds which mixes computers, hands on science experiments, and crafts.
  • Imagine a program that allows your six-year-old to edit a movie they also starred in.
  • Imagine a program where your seven-year-old can build and program their own robot to navigate obstacle courses.
  • Imagine a program where your eight-year-old can add special effects to their claymation commercials.
  • Imagine a program that allows your nine-year-old to conduct and create music using a computer.

All of these are possible through the Cranium Kids Camp Program!

Our camp program is a smart mix of technology, education, creativity, and fun. Kids work in small groups to create projects using laptops and smart toys. We offer age specific camps for children ages 3-12. Our camps include "Movie Makers", "Lego Robotics", "Junior Journalism", "Music Makers", "Claymation", and "Tech-Tots". Camps are structured in half day and full day formats. If attending a full day camp, you will need to sign your child up for a morning session and an afternoon session within the same week. Children attending full day camps will need a bag lunch. Camps tuition includes all technology, supplies, snacks, and supply fees.

Our camp program is mobile and can be offered at any school or center. If you are interested in enrolling your child in one of our existing camps, simply click on the registration packet and submit your information.

Cranium Videos

The videos below were created by some of our summer camp students.  They have not been changed from their original content created by our students in a three hour mini-camp.  The students ranged in age from five to twelve.  The video named Rainbow Days, was created as part of their graduation ceremony from camp.  All of the students in the Rainbow Days camp are from homeless shelters.  The camps were developed to teach them the importance of education, self respect, confidence, and the value of a drug and alcohol free life.
