Son loves coding class!
My son has been attending the coding classes at his school this term and he is absolutely loving it! It is all he talks about on the drive home :)Well organised and very friendly staff.
Multiple bad experiences
I sent my kids to Curious Mind this term. The 1st session was cancelled same day morning without explaining the reason. So far, I still hasn't received that message/email/call in regards to how this cancelled session will be rearranged. Then today, the school has a teacher training day, and Code Camp teacher arrived at 2:56pm (the activity supposes to start at 2:55pm), and told us that we need to change to another space! Execuse me? Should you arrive a bit earlier and sort out these things in advance? BTW, their contact number never works, don't bother to call!Very happy kids
My 5yo son and 8 yo daughter have been learning to code after school and both are loving it.The staff are really good, my kids come home buzzing and wanting to show me the games they are working on. So great to have the after school care and learning new skills combined. We will definitely be trying out the holiday camps next hols. thanks Show reply
9 YO daughter loved coding a game
My 9 YO daughter loved the Spark program. Great comms in the leadup and staff were really welcoming when she arrived a little nervous. Didn't know if coding was her 'thing' but she came home every day with a smile and at the end of camp we exchanged numbers with some new friends so we can try and get them into the next program together. Shes really proud of the game she created and said the best part was the designing. Will be back next hols Show replyNever again
Disappointed and dissatisfied with Code Camp’s questionable leadership and failure to provide a safe environment for our children. Our two daughters attended the Melbourne YouTube Creators course held in January 2024. It was an expensive purchase and we would never book again with Code Camp. On the first day, my eldest daughter, despite a risk to her safety, was instructed to locate and approach a disruptive male student with anger management issues who had a meltdown and stormed out of the classroom. This was clearly the responsibility of the ... Read moreclass facilitator not a minor and showed a complete lack of judgement on Code Camp’s behalf. The kids were encouraged to dress up for the final day which both our daughters did, making the effort with their costumes. At the beginning of the day during play time in the school yard, my eldest daughter was verbally and physically assaulted by a male student who ripped parts of her costume and wig off her head while threatening her. My youngest daughter, scared by the unfolding events, ran to a Code Camp facilitator who was supervising another group in a different location for intervention. The facilitator said something to the male student and my eldest daughter, who was rattled and in tears from the incident was left to sort herself out spending the first 15 minutes of the class in the bathroom regaining her composure and fixing her costume. At no point during the day did any Code Camp facilitator check on her to see if she was alright or monitor her wellbeing. Being a well-adjusted child, my daughter got through the day and made the best of the situation but was left shaken from the experience. Code Camp did not inform us of the incident and failed to return my phone call and message left on 12/01/24. Code Camp should’ve provided adequate supervision during play time, a safe environment for our children and demonstrated care and compassion – and unfortunately, they failed in these areas. Aggression and bullying are intolerable behaviours and we were shocked at the blatant lack of concern from the facilitators and this business as a whole.Hi Janelle, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. We were obviously very disappointed that the experience was tarnished... Read more
. We have looked through all of communication history between our staff at camp and our Customer Support Team and we cannot see an email sent by you discussing the issues you mention in your review. We are aware that you left us a voicemail on the 12th of January, and our Customer Service team returned your call and left you a voicemail requesting that you get in touch, however we received no further communication.| Child safety is our number one priority at Code Camp and every camp has a qualified school teacher as Camp Manager to ensure all children in our care are safe and happy. Again your concerns were not mentioned by the Camp Manager or the Teachers in any of the mandatory daily reports that staff complete. In order to minimize as many issues at camp as possible we ask all students at camp to provide feedback on their first and final day at camp, so that we can ensure all students are feeling safe and supported while at Code Camp. We have had a look at your children's feedback and we were pleased to see that their Day 1 and Day 3 feedback was overwhelmingly positive: Quoting directly from the feedback both your children provided: Day 1 “I loved the staff they were so friendly and they played cards with me at recess and lunch. This place is the best!" “The hosts are funny and that’s a good quality also the activities are fun to do!" “can’t wait for another exciting day at Code Camp!” Day 3 “Everyone was so friendly and I felt so happy and included. I learnt so many skills and I am very confident with my youtube skills” “Code Camp has ben an amazing experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” “I think this was the best learning experience I had ever had !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” If your children felt unsettled in any way, this was not communicated to camp staff and I apologise that they may have missed something. Their feedback indicates they had a fantastic time over the three days with us. Please do reach out to us directly via hello@codecamp.com.au so we can discuss this further. We remain committed to resolving any concerns and ensuring that future experiences with our camp meet the high standards we strive to uphold. Thank you, Code CampThe painful wait time

My kid recently attended the Robotics camp at his school during the holidays. He enjoyed a lot. He also attended after-school coding sessions in person. He always wants to go back to these camps. Show replyStaff not suitable to supervise children
Quite expensive, yet the teachers were young and made poor decisions. Despite high cost, staff had no suitable computers for the children and as such, made both of my children provide their personal google classroom login details to the whole class, who then logged into their accounts. My children's school work and profile were accessed by the entire class as directed by the young teacher. This gross misuse of authority left my children feeling like they had done something wrong, and there secure details compromised. Staff apologised but this is unacceptable. Very expensive cost for a very unqualified person to walk through a program.Hi Kris, We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns. The issue described happened on the first day of camp, as soon as we were made aware that the students weren't able to access the nec... Read more
essary platforms we promptly addressed it by delivering backup laptops to the school. We ask all students at camp to provide feedback on their first and final day at camp, so that we can ensure all students are feeling safe and supported while at Code Camp. We have had a look at your children's feedback and we were pleased to see that their feedback was positive: "I had so much fun thank you" and "thanks for teaching me - I can't wait to show my mum". We want to address the perception that your children felt they were in trouble. It's disheartening to hear this, especially given the overwhelmingly positive feedback. We understand that the children can be sensitive and our staff should always be on the lookout for any child that may be feeling overwhelmed or worried. If your children did not feel that our staff did this, we apologise. At every camp we have a qualified teacher present to help minimise any issues that may arise. We have been actively engaged in addressing this matter with you directly, including multiple email communications. It is disappointing to learn that our efforts have not met your expectations. We remain committed to resolving any concerns and ensuring that future experiences with our camp meet the high standards we strive to uphold. Thank you, Code CampBuzzing
Our first time at Code Camp. My daughter came out at the end of the first day beaming. She had the best day and just couldn't wait to get back the next day. The teachers were friendly and made it fun while still learning new and wonderful skills she could build on. The first program Robotics was unfortunately cut short by an upsetting day but Code Camp handled it well. My daughter is already asking about what she can do in the next holidays. Communication from the Code Camp office to me was also great and easy without being too overbearing. I highly recommend this program Show replyFun and educational!
Fun and educational 2 day camp for my 9 year old son. Came home with a smile on his face and was excited for the 2nd day.This was awesome!
Noah had a lot of fun and learned loads of new thingsGreat holiday activity for gamer kids
My son has attended two Code Camps and both times has learnt skills that he has used beyond the camp, made friends and it was also great for building confidence and independence. The teachers and facilities are great too.Amazing course, can't wait to do them all!
After my son 9, expressed an interest in coding over the holidays, I googled coding classes and Code Camp came up. I booked him immediately for the next week, at first we just booked a 1 day class to see how it was but at the end of the first day, my son was begging to go back. Code Camp were great and gave him a spot for the next 2 days to complete the longer version of the class. We didn't want it to end, he came out every day beaming and full of enthusiasm. Now we want to try all the classes code camp has to offer and even my daughter 6 wants to join in. Thank you code camp for offering such a wonderful experience for our children, see you again next holidays! Show replyThis is great camp. My 10yrs boy loved it!
Love it! Will definitely sign up again next school holiday Show replyHoliday Code Camp Fun
I signed up our 10yo daugther to the Roblox code camp and she had a great time. The communication prior to and during the three-day camp was timely. I would consider signing her up to another camp in the future.Questions & Answers

Hey Yumin, Thanks for letting us know about your experience. Having spoken to our team, I can advise the following... Read more
: The class start date was pushed back one week and we notified parents via email 5 days prior. We simply added a week at the end of term to run an 8 week program. The email you received detailed this program extension. Apologies that our teacher was 1 minute late on that occasion, and there was a change of room within the school, which is at the school's discretion and we were not aware of this change prior to the teacher's arrival. Customer Support have tried to call you and have been in touch via email on multiple occasions. They will reach out again to assist you further. Thanks, Code Camp
