Since 1982, kids and teens ages 8 - 17, who are inspired by technology, come from near and far for high quality STEM education balanced with fun summer camp activities. Emagination offers a huge selection of technology courses in four core areas of study, Digital Art & Media, Coding, Game Design and Engineering.  These courses are taught using professionally developed curriculums delivered person-to-person by qualified instructors. Recreation goes hand-in-hand with the tech curriculum. Traditional camp activities are core to the programs and are developed to help kids try new things, push boundaries and strengthen friendships.

Offering both overnight and day camp options, Emagination offers a unique environment for its campers to learn, grow and be with others like themselves.  “Kids Like Me”, is one of the most frequent answers to our survey question for returning campers “What made you come back to Emagination this year?”. 

Emagination's technology instructors are young adults in college or graduate school for computer science, engineering, game design and digital arts with experience in the latest technologies and software. As older versions of our campers, they make learning fun.

Emagination STEM Camps are not owned, operated, or sponsored by Marymount University.
