A tech camp is a summer camp which focuses on technology eucation. Whereas computer camps originally focused on hardware, networking, and programming, tech camps evolved in the late 1990’s to encompass a broader scope of technical competencies relevant to the internet generation. Specifically, tech camps tend to encompass the disciplines of multimedia and gaming. Tech Camps usually operate on college campuses during the summer months due to the availability of housing, computer labs, and dining facilities. Campers are usually between 7-17 years old.
