KidsCamp is Back!

We are excited to offer a full day of learning for the next generation of WordPress users! For children 8 years or older who are interested in starting their own blog or website using WordPress, KidsCamp is a must-do!

KidsCamp will run on the Saturday, May 11 during regular WordCamp hours.

Other important things to know:

  • participants should be 8+ years old
  • participants must bring their own laptop*
  • participants must be accompanied by an adult (WordCamp ticket purchase required)
  • participants should come with an idea for their blog/website as this will be a hands on learning experience
  • participants should have easy access to an email

We’ll kick the day off with an explanation of what WordPress is, then we’ll create a new account on WordPress.com. Once that’s set up, it’s time to set up our websites!

Lunch will be provided for all attendees. Chicken fingers and fries for the kids, and a soup/sandwich buffet for the adults.

Looking for ideas?

  • focus on your favourite hobby or sport
  • create a journal of your poetry, short stories or other  writing
  • study something new and share what you’ve learned
  • share photos and life updates with your grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends (as a private site)

* A limited number of laptops are available to borrow for the day. Please email [email protected] if you need to make arrangements.
