If you wonder what The Urban Camp is, let me explain it.

We are not a traditional school. We are a very cool startup that teaches you engaging and innovative topics and projects. The world has changed, and the way you learn should match real-life demands. We are based in Vancouver, in the province of British Columbia. in Canada. 

Alright, cool, but what kind of programs do we teach?

It depends on your age, but let me give you an example:

We teach technology stuff such as:

  • Virtual Reality Programming. How cool would creating your own video game using virtual reality technology be? Game on!
  • English outside the classroom. How cool is that?
  • Video Producing, Filming and Editing. We know you sometimes think about becoming a content creator, so we help you by giving you the best tips, tricks and tools to create your content.
  • Google-land! – Whaaat? We know this is not a “word,” but hey, we want you to learn the secrets behind using Google Suite and other tricks.
  • Electronics and 3D Printing. How about creating an LED clock and learning to 3D print your designs? Whether this is just for fun or learning and understanding how Electronics and 3D Printing work, you will have a blast. All our programs are fun, hands-on and taught by professionals. And who knows, this may be your career in years to come.
  • Digital Skills: Well…this is seriously extensive, but you will get to learn and understand how to build a digital product using the methodology LEGO, Microsoft, EA and much more use!
  • We are going to Whistler! There, you can kayak, paddleboard, canoe and hike the most beautiful mountains. Oh! Jump from a cliff and swim in pristine lakes, and evening bonfires with marshmallows are part of our program!

Felix

We are very grateful for the magnificent workshop we attended where we had an introduction on what Digital Marketing is. We learned a lot, it was a great experience. We are very excited and eager to continue learning. The team has very positive energy.

Our kids accomplished something big!

(Parent in Colombia)

My daughter and her team faced something bigger than they are. They were scared at the beginning but they transformed this fear into a challenge. As a team and individually. They all played an important role as a team. Sara was an excellent leader, Valen was always helping my Gaby; who with her tiny magical eyes expressed how determined she was. She didn’t want to feel defeated. It was exciting to see not only the fact that this camp and the projects are very innovative but were also rewarded. The Urban Camp knows how to leave an impact on the child community.

(Parent in Colombia)

We are still very excited, emotional and happy for everything our children learned. Thank you to the team at The Urban Camp for your support and your passion to teach and mentor.
