Elite Summer Camp Staff – No Counselors in Training (CITs)

We strongly believe that a camp is only as good as its personnel. We recruit industry professionals, recent graduates, graduate students, and upper-level college undergraduates from the top universities in the country. Distinguishing ourselves from our competitors, we have a policy of “No CITs” at iD. This ensures our students are being instructed by only the best adult paid staff in the nation. Meet our elite camp staff.

6:1 Ratios & The iD Guarantee

With an average of just 6 students per staff member at our camps, we offer unparalleled supervision and hands-on instruction. Many camps talk about small class sizes and ratios but at iD, we practice what we preach. If, during the participant’s course instructional hours, we should go beyond 8 students per instructor (9 or greater) for two or more consecutive days in a given week, the participant gets to return for a free week of camp at equal value. Only at iD Tech Camps, not valid for multi-week Teen Academies. Please read the iD Guarantee for more details.

Best Courses and Software

We’ve been partnering with tech icons since our startup days in 1999. You’ll find only the best software and hardware at our summer computer camps from tech giants like Adobe^®, Apple, Autodesk, Microsoft^® and NVIDIA^®. View all Courses.

Family Company

We started in a studio above a garage in 1999. We didn’t have a dime to our names but we knew if we could transfer our passion for technology and teaching to our staff, and ultimately to the kids and teens we teach, we’d have a winner. Fast forward 12 seasons and we are now the premier summer computer camp in North America. Not bad! Read more.
