MRU Camps — Coding

My son attended the MRU Camps Coding program in Calgary last week, and overall, it was a positive experience. The instructors, like Alex, were genuinely engaged and made coding fun. My son particularly enjoyed creating his own simple game, which he still talks about. The small group sizes allowed for personalized attention, which was great. However, I did notice that some of the activities involved quite a bit of screen time, which I worry might not be ideal for his age. They also offered complimentary before and after care, which made pickup easier for me. All in all, I’d recommend this camp for kids who are active and curious about coding, but just keep an eye on the screen time.

My son attended the MRU Camps Coding program in Calgary last month, and overall, it was a solid experience. He’s 9 and loves creating things, so he was eager to dive into the coding projects they offered. The instructors, like a friendly guy named Mark, really engaged with the kids, and I appreciated that they kept the group sizes small, allowing for more hands-on help. My son built a simple game using Scratch, which he was thrilled to show me at pickup. However, there were a few days with long lines during drop-off, which could be frustrating. They do offer complimentary before and after care, which helped with our schedule. Overall, I'd recommend this program for any creative kids looking to explore coding in a supportive environment.
