Overall positive- need better apps
Overall the experience was positive. Staff were attentive and the location was very good. I’m a little disappointed in the apps that were used for the camps. One camp used an app that will be discontinued in one month, so my child won’t be able to apply what he learned for very long. The other camp used GarageBand which is a good app, but it’s one my son already used and knew a lot about. Due to this, he didn’t learn much that was new. I would recommend that with their promo materials, they include the apps that they plan to have the students learn and use.
Response from Creator CampJul 3, 2026
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us! We are so glad to hear that your overall experience was positive, that our staff was attentive, and that the location worked out well for you. We also really appreciate your honesty regarding the software used in the camps, and we completely understand your perspective. To give you a little background on the game design app, Struckd, its discontinuation was actually a surprise announcement right before our summer season kicked off. Because it happened so close to camp starting, our team didn't have enough time to completely rebuild and test a brand-new 3D game design curriculum. We are so sorry for any disappointment this caused! The silver lining is that the core concepts your son learned, like level layout, game logic, and pacing, are completely transferable skills that will give him a huge head start in any other game engine he explores. Regarding GarageBand, it is definitely an app that many creative kids have encountered before! While it is super approachable for beginners, it is also a highly complex, professional-grade tool used by real musicians and producers. Because it has so many advanced layers, mixing capabilities, and automation tools, it can take years to fully master. That being said, we love that your son already had a great foundation, and we appreciate knowing he was ready to be pushed even further! Your suggestion to list the specific apps in our promotional materials is an excellent idea, and we will absolutely share this with our team so parents can better gauge the perfect track for their child's skill level. Thank you again for helping us grow and improve! We would love to welcome your son back in the future for a camp that gives him a brand-new, exciting challenge to tackle.
