STEM - Elementary Innovation Camp

Camp Code Quest: Where Makers Wanna Make!  Camp Code Quest is a hands-on STEM maker camp where creativity meets coding and design. Campers build, tinker, and explore through exciting challenges using Clixo, Makedo, robotics carts, Artie Max, and 3D printing. With daily make-and-take projects, campers bring their ideas to life while developing problem-solving and engineering skills in a fun, collaborative environment. Making is the mission—and imagination leads the way!

Eligibility: 

  • PCS Summer Enrichment Camps are open to current PCS students. Parents can apply up to four choices. The application allows families to request a seat in a camp, but it does not guarantee a reservation.

 Selection Guidelines:

  • Camps are designed for various grade levels and have specific days and times.
  • Camps will take place in June and July.
  • Select the camp based on the grade level your child will be in for the next school year, not the current school year.
  • Transportation is not provided for most camps, except for Ignite Arts Camp.

Application Period:

  • Applications open on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 and close at 11:59 PM on Sunday, March 8, 2026.
  • A second application period may open later in the spring if some camps are not full.
  • Applications are not "first come, first served." Families can apply anytime during the two-week window.

Acceptance and Payment:

  • Check your child’s camp acceptance status by logging into the Student Reservation System from Tuesday, March 31, 2026 to Tuesday, April 14, 2026.
  • Once you accept a camp seat, you will be prompted to pay the registration fee ($100 per camp or $25 per camp for students eligible for free and reduced lunch). Payment will confirm your student’s enrollment in selected camps.
  • Seats in some camps are limited. Thank you for understanding if you do not receive an invite. The district continues to offer more camps each summer to accommodate as many families as possible.

Note:  These enrichment camps are separate from the annual Summer Bridge program. Summer Bridge registration opens after Spring Break through a similar process.
