What is the Refund Policy?
Please Click Here
Computerwisekids is committed to provide a quality program. In order to make our summer program meaningful, we have chosen to offer week long courses. This allows the student to learn the subject well. Each child learns at his/her own pace. Students will leave camp with a completed project to share with their friends and family.
Will my child learn the same course material again if I sign up for 2 weeks for the same course?
No, your child would start on a new project and continue to sharpen his/her skills. It is a good way to reinforce the things they have learned. All the Camps have skill levels ranging from 1-3.
Do I need to buy a subscription for Minecraft?
Depends on the camp, most of our summer camps do not require a separate subscription. We use the EDU version of Minecraft. Students sign-in on a server set up for the camp.

Campers should carry their own snack & a sack lunch to camp. Please make us aware of any food allergies your child may have. The camp is NOT a peanut free campus.
