About

TIC Summer Camp offers a mix of technology and athletics, including programming and robotics along with high-energy youth sports. The camp uses a 50/50 model where campers spend half of each day in cutting-edge tech options and the other half in athletic activities. The program emphasizes choice so campers can focus on the specific technology and athletics options that interest them most.

• Ages: 7–15 years old
• Schedule: Camp hours Monday–Friday, 8am–3pm, with extended day available from 3pm–5:30pm

TIC Summer Camp states that it is dedicated to providing an inclusive, encouraging environment that focuses on a healthy mind and body balance through collaboration, creativity, and growth. The camp describes its approach as supporting personal and social growth that promotes empathy, activism, and kindness, and defines being “inclusive” as working to remove barriers to participation, systems of inequity, and the reinforcement of stereotypes. TIC Summer Camp has been accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA) since its first summer of operation in 1983 and continues to hold this accreditation. The program describes itself as a premier summer experience for kids ages 7 to 15, a top-rated summer camp in DC, VA, and MD, and notes that it has over 40 years of making camp memories, with an emphasis on personalized attention from expert staff and a unique curriculum focused on collaboration, creativity, and personal growth.

TIC Summer Camp notes that it has valued community partnerships with organizations. One 2025 parent shared that their family has been with TIC for three years and that their child especially enjoys the programming and robotics programs. Another 2025 parent commented that their kids do not complain when told it is time to wake up for camp.
