About Stanford University

Stanford University is roughly 30 miles from both the San Jose and San Francisco airports. The Stanford campus was designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, who designed New York’s Central Park. Stanford University represents the best that higher education has to offer–and has attracted the best and the brightest intellectual minds by offering an extensive selection of studies for over a century. Nestled in the ideal weather zone between the bay and the ocean, our Silicon Valley computer camps at Stanford University give students the opportunity to take in iD’s challenging program while enjoying the culturally rich, collegiate atmosphere.

Note: We do not disclose the precise on-campus location of this California summer camp until you register. Specific maps and driving directions will be found in your Camp Account.
