How long will my child have access to the Juni Learning Portal?
During camp, students can access the Portal 24/7, and continue to work on their projects outside of camp hours. Once camp ends, students will no longer be able to view new content, but they will always be able to access their completed work!
My child cannot attend the camp session I registered for. Can I change my camp session?
We may be able to change your camp session depending on availability, up to the third business day prior to the start date of your session. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate all requests. Please reach out to support@learnwithjuni.com , or call us at (650) 263-4306.

In the case that your selected session is not filled by the start date, we may contact you to reschedule your Summer Camp.
What happens after my child completes their Summer Camp?
Congratulations! Juni will reach out to you with your instructor’s feedback about your student’s work at camp! We’ll also provide a discount to sign up for further courses, and your child can skip ahead in the material depending on what they already learned at camp.
For young learners getting started in the fundamentals of computer science and game design, Scratch is the perfect place to begin! In Scratch’s coding environment, kids program characters (called sprites) using blocks of code that represent the same concepts used in other programming languages like Python and Java. Students can see their code come to life in the form of animations, stories, and games. Each camper will learn, build, and collaborate with up to 4 peers, guided by an experienced Scratch instructor from a top computer science program in the US. They’ll leave camp with a portfolio of projects they’ve created in Scratch!
Sample projects & topics covered:
In this ambitious week-long camp, aspiring authors will write an original novel or long-form work of their choice. Writing a novel is no small feat for most adults, but at Juni we believe that with the right instruction and coaching, middle and high school students are up to the challenge! Students are guided by an experienced instructor from a top US university throughout the writing process. They learn and apply the foundational elements of novel writing, including character development, narrative structure, setting description, plot creation, and dialogue craft. With 4 other campers, students will also practice critiquing writing and providing peer feedback.
Sample topics covered:
Adults in all fields of work understand the importance of persuading others of your own ideas. In Juni’s Public & Persuasive Speaking Camp, students will learn, practice, and master persuasive speaking techniques, alongside other campers and their Juni instructor. Students will actively participate in a variety of engaging activities, such as giving a toast in front of an audience, performing a short stand-up comedy routine, or giving their own TED-style speech. Along the way, students will learn how humor, musicality, listening, wordplay, rhetoric, counterargument, vulnerability, and narrative structure can make any speaker inspirational and effective.
Sample topics covered:
Python is not only the second most popular programming language in the world, but a great language for middle and high schoolers to get started with programming! This camp is based on the curriculum for Juni’s introductory Python course, which has helped thousands of students spark their passion for programming and move into our more advanced courses. Using the Turtle library in Python, campers will learn through a series of graphics and game-based projects, guided by an experienced Python instructor from a top computer science program in the US. They’ll leave camp with a portfolio of projects they’ve created in Python!
