Empow Studios summer STEM camps return to Boston at the beautiful Old South Church in Back Bay. Located right across from the Boston Public Library, Old South Church serves as a great space for exciting projects and camp fun! Physical breaks will be outside (weather permitting) for outdoor games like Zombie Tag and Frisbee toss. For pick-up and drop-off, there is street parking on Boylston St., and at 100 Clarendon St. for $7. Old South Church is conveniently located right next to Copley Station for public transportation.

For check-in, parents will utilize street parking, local parking garages, or public transit to bring their children to camp in the church. When entering, parents will identify themselves to the front desk who will buzz them into the elevator. Empow programs take place on the 3rd floor.

Noon check-outs will need to come up to the third floor for pickup, but PM and full day campers will be down at curbside for pick up. From 3:50PM-4:10PM, we will have a pick-up area across the street from the church by the Copley T station Elevator entrance (652 Boylston Street). The campers will be supervised by our staff while they wait for their authorized pickup to pull up. Any children not picked up by 4:10PM will be brought back to the main program room on the 3rd floor for extended day.

Empow’s Tech & Design Camp, Minecraft Camp, Girls STEM Camp, and Java Coding Camp are coming to Boston for five week-long sessions of Summer Camp!

Empow’s Video Game Design Club teaches kids about programming logic, coding, and story-telling by capitalizing on their passion for video games. Our classes will cover all areas of Video Game Design (VGD), including designing sprites, building character control, creating an intuitive user interface, and more! VGD Club members start with their imagination, and we help them bring their ideas to life. Each VGD member will also have the opportunity to showcase their video games to fellow club members, allowing for constructive beta-testing in a fun and engaging environment.

BRIDGING THE GAP FROM SCRATCH TO JAVA

Coding Club at Empow Studios is for kids who want to try their hand at creating games, animations, and applications by writing code. Club members will start with fundamental concepts using Scratch, an easy-to-understand, block-based, drag & drop coding language. Once kids are familiar with the basic concepts, we introduce Java, an industry standard language used in many of the applications running on your Android device, and in the 2nd best-selling video game of all time, Minecraft.
