KidsCamp will run Saturday from 10am-3:45pm in Room 205.
WordCamp parents can now usher in the next generation of WordPress builders at KidsCamp! Parents attending WordCamp can bring their junior website creators along and enjoy a day of parent-child learning under the advisement of some of our WordPress Experts!
These special kid-friendly lessons will introduce your child to the wonderful world of WordPress and help them learn or improve upon WordPress development, design, and use skills! After the day is complete, your child will leave with their very own WordPress.com site up and running!
Interested WordPress parents or guardians will need to have a general admission ticket purchased before signing up their junior creators. Parents will be responsible for staying with their child during KidsCamp, but may switch guardians during the course of the day if you are both attending. Each child will need his or her own laptop to work on.
Each KidsCamp ticket provides your child with their very own name badge and swag, lunch, and full-day KidsCamp on Saturday. If you’re child is ready to move forward, they are also welcome to join us for regular sessions on Sunday.
We are accepting children from ages 7 to 14 to participate in these special lessons and spots are limited to only 20 students (not including their parental sponsors). Also, if you have an older child ready to learn some advanced topics, they are welcome to join us for the full sessions and workshops with a regular ticket!
