What is Creator Camp? (CreatorCamp.org)
As seen on Shark Tank, Creator Camp is an indoor creative summer program dedicated to teaching animation, filmmaking, YouTube content creation, Minecraft modding, Roblox game design, and music production to kids ages 6 to 13.
We envision a future where every child perceives technology not merely as a means to consume content, but as a powerful tool for creating and expressing their unique visions.
Within 4 years, Creator Camp has become one of the fastest-growing creative technology summer camps in the US and has recently welcomed Shark Tank investor Barbara Corcoran to the team.
