“My 12 year old son was on Drone Camp 2 this summer (having done Drone Camp last summer). Each year, it’s been pretty much the highlight of his summer holidays. I’ve also been really impressed with the reactivity of the staff to any email questions. Really impressive organisation.”
“A fantastic week building a 3D printer. Accommodation was very good and the food was amazing! Fun activities in the evenings and everything was well thought out. I am hoping to come back.”
“My son did the drone racing Camp for a week and utterly loved it.
Everything seemed incredibly well organised and brilliantly run – communication was good and it was easy to book.
He said he particularly loved the activities, how involving it was and unusually commented on how excellent the food was.
As a parent, I was incredibly impressed by his flying skills after just a week.
Highly recommended camp and we will definitely be repeat customers.”
“My 9 year old daughter had a fantastic time at the game maker course in Winchester. I would highly recommned this camp for anyone who has a child who is interested in 2D gaming. She already is asking if she can go back and do the 3D printing.”
“This is our second summer of attending Tech Camp at Sparsholt. It’s the highlight of my 2 boys (10 & 13) summer.
10 year old did 3D printing and very much enjoyed the course since getting his printer home he hadn’t stopped making all sorts of things.
13 year old did car engineering he learned loads of new skills and enjoyed spending time with his classmates, as they helped each other to problem solve their cars. He has been racing his car around the garden and tweeking the settings.
Both boys really enjoyed the food especially doughnuts and waffles for pudding.
Would thoroughly recommend tech camp it’s well worth the money. We will hopefully be back next year.”
“Staff were enthusiastic helpful and supportive. Great location and facilities. Comfortable and supported accommodation. Great entertainment programme. Diverse and exciting projects. It was my daughters first trip and she absolutely loved every minute. It brought her out of her normally quiet shell. Thank you. She will be back”
“Tech camp offers quality teaching of highly differentiated and challenging topics.
My daughter has absolutely loved this course for two years running and she has learnt incredibly technical computing skills which she regularly uses at home. The classes are very small and the children can work independently requesting support when they need it.
I would say, if you have a child that is very interested in programming and computing and may not flourish in the usual busy summer school environment, then it is definitely worth the money.”
“Our 10yr old was desperate to go although he hadn’t gone somewhere alone like this before and with such a large age range. The Tech Camp team were brilliant and answered our Qs before. He LOVED the camp and the comms were great with us. We were really impressed (they even did outdoor activities). Their attitude to safeguarding was great and I was impressed with their organisation. Unsurprisingly, my son is very keen for next year.”

“My son John participated to the Robotics course in Abingdon (Summer 2023) and both 3D Printing courses, 3D Printing 1 and 2, in Sparsholt (Summer 2024) since he liked so much the first time. If you are looking for a tech camp to enroll your kids look no further this is top notch.”
“My son has attended 5 different residential programmes in the last 6 years (and a virtual one during Covid) and always has a brilliant time. It is truly the highlight of his summer, and he has made friends not only that he sees year after year but is in contact with in between summer camps. The only thing we know for sure is that we'll not hear a word from him while he's on the course.... As he turns 18 next year he's really hoping to be able to go back as a tutor and share with others.”
“My son has enjoyed 3D games design at Tech Camp two years in a row. He finds the content really exciting and engaging, and is really pleased at what he is able to create in a 3d game environment. I think it is fantastic that he is learning proper code in such a creative environment. The tutors are friendly and super helpful. The course is well organised in an excellent safe, secure, modern venue.”
“The camp was good, the tutors were very kind and helpful. the location was also nice. The only thing I would say to improve is to have an assistant to the tutor otherwise it can get a bit tiring I noticed for the tutor.”
“My son has attended Tech Camp for two summers running and is booked for his third session this summer. He enjoyed the course and came home with many new skills, including a Laser Tag Gun and a 3D Printer! The customer service after the course was also excellent - we had a few questions, and Tech Camp offered us a Zoom call and a drop-in session. We will certainly keep signing up!”
“Absolutely brilliant! My son gave it a 10/10 when he got home. Said the counsellors were amazing, loved every bit of it and will be going back. We would just love some more residential weeks in the year to take advantage of because we are never around in the summer.”
