AI, AR, Robotics, Drones, Coding, Art & Game Design by Camp Integem

Give your child a summer to explore, create, grow, and innovate with the #1 AI & AR program! At Camp Integem, kids and teens (ages 5-18) can turn their dreams into reality through AI, robotics, coding, drones, augmented reality, art, animation, 3D design, game design, space tech, startup, research and more.

Imagine your child riding a spaceship to the stars, meeting dinosaurs, stepping into magical game worlds, bringing their art to life, building intelligent AI robots, or designing and flying AI-powered space drones. At Camp Integem, their creations can even soar to the stratosphere, reaching heights of 30,000 to 100,000 feet!

Fully accredited by ASC WASC, recognized as an NVIDIA AI Partner, and approved by the College Board to offer AP courses, Camp Integem combines cutting-edge learning with fun. Whether your child is creating AR worlds, building robots, or launching projects into space, every activity sparks curiosity, creativity, and innovation.

It’s not just about learning—it’s about making memories, building confidence, and having fun in a one-of-a-kind experience your child will never forget!

No Experience? No Problem! Our programs are designed for every level, so your child can progress from beginner to advanced at their own pace. With small student-to-teacher ratios and passionate, tech-savvy instructors, kids not only have fun but also gain valuable, future-ready skills.

Students can choose camps tailored to their age groups: Ages 5-8, 8-10, 10-14, and 14+. Younger students will engage in LEGO robotics, Scratch coding, and 2D digital art and animation, while older kids and teens will take on advanced projects like NVIDIA AI-powered robotics (earning NVIDIA certifications), coding AI algorithms, 3D game design and animation, AI space drones, and DIY space launches. Each day combines hands-on learning with indoor and outdoor play for a well-rounded camp experience.
Camp Integem offers programs at 16 locations across California and online, including 5 vibrant sites in Los Angeles and Orange County:

Description:

CodeREV STEAM In-Person or Virtual Camps inspire innovation through project-based experiential adventures in STEAM learning and excitement. CodeREV Kids build amazing projects that tap into their natural curiosity to unleash their imagination and creativity while teaching them next-level industry skills in innovation and technology creation. Led by fun, expert instructors, kids dive into friendship, fun, and unforgettable camp memories! Whether creating in Minecraft, coding new mods, making their very own video games, or building their own robots that they wire and control with code, kids get to use their imagination to make what they can dream of while building critical skills.

The camp day is broken up into a variety of exciting activities, both on and off-screen, and includes structured break times (see below for more).

Schedule: 9am – 4pm (3pm at select locations), M – F, Weeklong Camps, all summer long
Locations: Encino, Santa Monica/West L.A., Westwood, West Hollywood, and Irvine

Daily Schedule:

Discovery Launch – We will always start the day with an intro period in which we introduce the objectives for the day and demo what the final outcome might look like. Campers will then be led by the instructor using our dialogue format in which our instructors have students actively participate in discovering how to reach the objective by asking questions throughout rather than simply lecturing.

Let’s Move It… Outside – This will be the 1st of three break periods during the camp day in which we will lead the students in STEM themed fun activities outside. For one of many examples, think of Simon says, but with a robot giving orders and using coding concepts such as loops and conditionals.

Innovation Hour – Campers will continue working on their projects and the instructor will introduce challenges that will require students to get their innovative caps on to be able to complete.

Let’s Get Physical… Outside – This will be the 2nd of three break periods during the camp day in which we will lead the campers in STEM themed fun activities outside.

Ideation & Iteration – Campers will wrap up the day’s objectives and will now get to customize their projects as well as come up with ideas on how to make their project unique.

Golden Hour Giggles (Outside) – In the 3rd break of the day, students will have fun outside. In this period, we tend to focus more on team-building activities rather than very physical activities although there is a mix of that as well.

Buddy Up & Brainstorm – Campers will buddy up to see and experience each other’s projects. If students made digital art, the partner will get to run the code and ask questions about how this was created. If students made a game, their partner can play and test the game. Together, they can brainstorm more ways to customize and add to this project.

Project Landing – In the last period of the day, campers will wrap up the day with a recap of the day’s objectives and key concepts and ideas for the next day of camp.

Camp Mirman is a one-of-a-kind summer day camp where curiosity is the curriculum and every week is a new adventure. Set on Mirman School’s beautiful campus, Camp Mirman invites rising Kindergarteners through 4th graders to explore big ideas through six immersive weekly themes — from Tiny Worlds and Starship Earth to Gems, Crystals & Light and Dreams Take Flight. Each week, campers dive into hands-on STEM experiments, art, improv, team-building, and weekly field trips that bring the theme to life.

No two days are the same. Water Wednesdays kick off with high-energy aquatic games, and every morning begins with a community meeting designed to spark wonder before the day even starts. With an 8:1 camper-to-counselor ratio, every child gets real attention in a joyful, supportive environment.

Best of all — Camp Mirman is open to all campers, not just current Mirman students. No IQ test required, just a love of learning and a readiness to explore.

Sessions run June 22 through July 31, 2026. Register by April 3rd to take advantage of the 10% Early Bird discount.

Description:

When you trust kids, they trust themselves. Since 1980 Steve & Kate’s Camp has trusted kids to choose their own activities and plan their own days in real-time. Whether campers are designing, building, coding, creating, baking, dancing, playing, eating, sewing, skipping—it’s all on their own schedule. Because when you empower children to make their own choices and be their own bosses, the children discover new reserves of confidence, resiliency, and creativity–all while learning to make course corrections and trust themselves as they go.

Families can buy as many days as they’d like, and use them at any time. No weekly reservations or commitments required–just show up! If for any reason your plans change, they’ll automatically refund any unused Passes in full at summer’s end.

Ages: 4–12 | Lunch, snacks, and all hours (8am–6pm) included.
