Our New York City camp students enjoy the full iD Tech Camps experience with our day camps and overnight camps at Fordham University in the Bronx. This is a gorgeous university campus. You will feel worlds away from the city when surrounded by the magnificent Gothic buildings of the Rose Hill Campus, the second largest green campus in New York City. Founded in 1841, Fordham University was the first Catholic institution of higher learning in the Northeast. Our summer academic camps for kids and teens are held at the Rose Hill Campus in the Bronx–Fordham University’s main campus in New York City.

Getting to Campus: We do not disclose the precise campus location of this New York summer camp until you register. Specific maps and driving directions will be found in your Camp Account. The campus is less than 20 minutes from Grand Central Station via the Metro-North Railroad and is also accessible by New York City subways and buses. Visit the MTA website for schedules, maps and service advisories. Fordham’s Rose Hill Campus is an excellent option among our Northeast summer computer camps.
