At the camp, kids aged 8-12 will have the opportunity to explore music, coding, moviemaking, or art and design by participating in a variety of free 90-minute hands-on sessions at
Apple Stores. As usual, Apple says all kids must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of their visits.
Last year's summer camp
ran between July 9 and July 27, with sessions taking place on weekdays between 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. local time. Multi-day programs included coding with Sphero robots, beat making and songwriting with GarageBand, and recording and editing short videos with Apple's Clips app for
iPad.
For a potential sneak peek, we can look at Singapore, where Apple Camp has been
renamed to Apple Summer Camp ahead of its kickoff next week. There, it looks like the programs will be familiar this year:
