Pleased parent 4 out of 5 stars

My eight-year-old daughter completed the 1-week Adventures in Game Design camp. She loved it! It was a great hands-on introduction to game design. It was age-appropriate, her instructor was great - she got lots of one-on-one time, it's a little pricey but a great summer activity/camp for kids. I'd like to see idTech expand and host more classes in the North Bay (i.e. Napa).

My Daughter's Favorite Camp! 5 out of 5 stars

This camp was great for my daughter. She took a video game creation course at iD Tech Camps last year. At first I was nervous about her attending camp at a University and also a technology camp. She was eager to go but I was not sure she would pick up on the information. After the first day, I knew I was wrong. She came home excited about her project, she was having fun and she really liked her instructor. She also really liked playing Guitar Hero during activity time. I noticed after camp that her confidence level had risen dramatically, especially with things on the computer. I would definitely recommend this camp to anyone looking for a fun educational summer activity. The tuition is not the cheapest but it was worth every penny. She is looking forward to going back this summer.
