We have chosen Harvard University to host our summer teen camps in the Boston area because of the school’s unparalleled reputation as one of the best universities in the nation, and maybe even the world. Established in 1636, Harvard is rich with tradition and history and has graduated some of the most recognizable names in the history of the United States, making it the perfect summer camp location. 2010 will be iD Tech Camps inaugural season at the esteemed university. Come check out our Boston summer camps!

Getting to Campus: Our specific location on campus at this Massachusetts summer camp, along with maps and driving directions, will be found in your Camp Account after you register. If you are flying into Boston’s Logan Airport, Harvard is only a short fifteen minute subway or taxi ride away.

Please note: All students attending iD Tech Camps at Harvard University must be ages 13-18. Students registered for our overnight program at Harvard University will be housed at a nearby location, only a short distance from Harvard University.

Overnight students ages 12-17 at iD Tech Camps, as well as those registered for our Teen Academies (ages 13-18), can bridge the weekend between consecutive overnight camp weeks. As an exception, overnight students ages 10-17 at Stanford University may also participate. The cost is $349 per weekend and is all-inclusive (housing, meals, supervision, gaming, activities, etc). This offering only applies to overnight students and is not stand-alone.

Not a serious gamer? We’ve got you covered. You can take it easy in the labs, play retro games, read a book, play outdoor sports, or just keep a low profile.
