Bit By Bit Summer Camp

 

Unfortunately, the Department of Computer Science has made the difficult decision to not offer the Bit by Bit Summer Camp for summer 2025. We thank everyone for their support and interest in the camp. Please check the website February 2026 for information on the 2026 camp year.

 

 

Programming. Robotics. Graphics. Sports. Games.   Fun.

Bit By Bit is a summer computer camp for children aged 9-13. Operated by the Department of Computer Science at Western University, we introduce young students to the fascinating world of computer science and technology. Campers learn ideas and skills that form the basis for the technology they use every day. We aim to show campers that computers and technology empower them to bring their ideas to life.

 

Designed For Your Child

Our curriculum makes use of experiential learning principles and is designed for campers ages 9-13, regardless of experience or skill level. Campers with beginning or advanced computer experience alike will find a stimulating, engaging curriculum.

A Head Start in a New World

Computers are everywhere. Employers today seek candidates with strong technical skills, even for jobs not traditionally associated with computers. Learning these skills at a young age will give your child a head start that will be useful in many areas of life, and applicable in just about any field your child might one day choose.

Fun and Games

While Bit By Bit aims to provide a solid grounding in technical skills, your child won't be stuck indoors, sitting in front of a computer all day. With robotics competitions, daily outdoor games, swimming, and other group activities, your child will enjoy plenty of time for exercise and socialization with peers.
