Overview

Student-Teacher Ratio 8:1

Drone enthusiasts (Ages 8-18) will embark on an exciting journey in the Drone Maker: Build, Code & Fly Camp. This camp is open to all skill levels, with no prerequisite knowledge in computers or robotics, making it a perfect starting point for aspiring Teen learners.

Limited-time offer: Register now and get a free $120 drone set!

Students will learn with their age groups: Ages 8-10, 10-14 and 14+.

This camp is fully accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC).

Fun outdoor and indoor activities and plays are part of the camp experience.

At this camp, students will explore the world of drone engineering and coding, combining hands-on creativity with modern technology. They’ll learn how to design, build, and program drones, gaining experience in flight dynamics and creating custom maneuvers, while incorporating an interactive digital layer using Holographic Augmented Reality (AR).

Imagine this: coding drones to fly through terrains or perform creative flight patterns, all while experiencing the action through immersive AR simulations. Students will bring their ideas to life by blending engineering and coding with creative problem-solving.

Due to the complexity of the material, kids ages 8-10 will require more time to learn.

Ages 8-10: 2-week camp
Ages 10-14 and 14+: 1-week camp

The following hardware will be provided in the camp for each student. You have the option to purchase a set to take home for continue learning:

Drone Kit: A programmable drone.

The camp's curriculum is designed to be engaging and inspiring with following modules

Introduction to Drone Mechanics
Basics of Aerodynamics for Drones
Drone Motor Controls
Python Coding for Drones (Ages 10+)
Blockly Coding for Drones (Ages 8-10)
Drone Programming & Debugging
Introduction to AR Coding for Drone Control
Design Your Own Drone Application with AR Integration

What is the magic of the Drone Maker Camp?

This camp offers a unique experience by integrating traditional drone education with Holographic AR, providing students with an innovative and engaging way to explore technology.

Expanding Drone Engineering: Students explore drone mechanics, coding, and flight control, gaining foundational skills in a hands-on environment.
Holographic AR Technology Integration: A highlight of the camp is the use of Holographic AR, enabling students to remotely operate their drones in creative, simulated environments like futuristic cities or custom-designed obstacle courses.
Engaging and Interactive Learning: The integration of drone building with AR technology creates a dynamic learning experience where students see their creations take shape and come to life.
Building Core Skills: The camp emphasizes critical thinking, coding, and design. By iterating on their projects, students gain confidence and learn how to approach challenges creatively

Early Bird Special: Receive a set of Drone for free while supplies last.

Change & Cancellation

Transfers to different sessions or locations are free until 21 days before the first camp start date, subject to availability.

Integem may limit changes or cancel programs due to operational reasons.

Refund and cancellation policies include:

Full refund within 24 hours of enrollment, if one week before the first camp start date. No refunds if registration occurs within one week of camp start or after the camp has started.

Until 21 days before the first camp start date, options for cancellation include:

Refund to your original payment method (minus $49 registration and $150/week cancellation fee).

Integem credit equal to your full payment, valid for 5 years.

No refunds or credits within 21 days of the first camp start date.

“First camp start date” refers to either the first day of the initially enrolled session, regardless of any changes, or the first day of the currently registered camp date, whichever comes earlier.

Cancelation By Integem

If Integem cancels a session, you have the option of either a 100% refund to your original payment method or a 110% credit for future camps, except if the original payment was made using camp credit or a gift certificate. In that case, you can only receive a 100% refund. The future camp credit is valid for 5 years.

If no camp is available within 20 miles of designated community, options include transfer at no cost or full refund.

Cancellations/Modifications Required by External Events Beyond Integem’s Reasonable Control

Integem shall not be liable to any customer for Integem’s need to cancel, modify or postpone camp as a result of events that are beyond Integem’s reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”). Integem incurs substantial non-recoverable costs and expenses of its own in planning, preparing, and pre-paying amounts for camps. Accordingly, if Integem cannot operate a camp as originally scheduled or it is interrupted due to any Force Majeure Event, customers will receive a credit for all monies paid, which must be redeemed for services in 5 years from the date the credit was issued. In the event of an interrupted camp program, the amount of the future camp credit will be pro-rated for the missed portions of the program. Cancellation, modification or postponement by Integem for causes described in this section shall not be a violation of its obligations to any customer and will not be deemed a “failure” to provide services.

Force Majeure Events include, but are not limited to, such “acts of God” or events as actual or threats of: (i) epidemics or pandemics, or other public health issues or emergencies (such as but not limited to the current COVID-19 pandemic); (ii) severe weather events or natural disasters such as but not limited to hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, fires, floods, volcanic activity or landslides; war (whether declared or undeclared); (iii) terrorist activities; (iv) incidents of violence, riot, sabotage or civil commotion; (v) strikes or labor disputes or lockouts; (vi) government orders, sanctions, actual or potential quarantines, or other restrictions affecting activities in or around a camp location; (vi) chemical or radioactive contamination; (vii) any other reason that makes it actually or potentially impossible, such as power outage, internet outage, or water outage, or illegal for Integem to offer camp services as originally contracted; or (viii) unavailability of camp facilities due to (i)-(vii) above.

(Drone Maker: Build, Code & Fly)

July 8, 2025 - J Metter

My 14-year-old son enrolled in the "Drone Maker: Build, Code, and Fly" camp, and the experience was truly disappointing from start to finish. On the very first day, one of the instructors yelled at him, setting a terrible tone for the rest of the program. The majority of the class time was spent sitting at computers watching iD Creator tutorials, simply copying code from the videos. There was very little actual drone flying, which was one of the main reasons we signed up in the first place. The instruction was almost entirely passive, with minimal face-to-face teaching or engagement from the staff. It felt more like a poorly supervised computer lab session than a hands-on STEM camp. The staff showed little interest in whether the students were learning or having a good experience. Overall, it lacked the energy, support, and interactivity you would expect from a camp promising creativity and innovation. I would absolutely not recommend this program to other parents. It's overpriced for what amounts to a series of tutorials in a classroom setting.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our teachers worked hard with your son throughout the Drone Maker camp, and he made notable progress. He was enthusiastic and eager to learn, and we encouraged that energy while prioritizing safety and learning. For safety and FAA compliance, students are only allowed to fly drones within the designated net area. Unfortunately, he repeatedly flew his drone in the classroom despite reminders, which posed risks to others and his equipment. The program also includes advanced firmware modifications—exciting but delicate work that requires teacher checks before powering the drone. He sometimes skipped these checks, and our staff reminded him kindly to avoid damage. While we strive to maintain a respectful and supportive learning environment, the situation escalated when the parent came to camp and yelled at teachers in front of other students, causing distress to staff. We do not believe this camp was a good fit in this case and have canceled the remainder of his enrollment with a proportional refund.
