The world of WordPress is fun and exciting for everyone. But, WordCamps and WordPress meetups are typically aimed at adults and working professionals. Why can’t kids join in on the fun?

We are excited to offer a KidsCamp in conjunction with our normal WordCamp Boston programming in 2019!

Today’s kids are tomorrow’s great engineers, designers, developers, and business owners. Introducing them to WordPress and technology early to instill a passion for computer science is important in the technological world that we live in.

KidsCamp tickets are now available on the tickets page for just $20.

A few important details:

• The KidsCamp event is only on Saturday, July 20th. But, kids are welcome to return for Sunday and attend all WordCamp related events. If returning for Sunday, though, we ask that the parent or guardian also purchase a General Attendee ticket to help with costs.
• A parent or guardian must stay with their child at all times.
• A KidsCamp ticket includes a t-shirt for the child, lunch for both the child and parent/guardian, and access to all WordCamp related events.

For all of the information, please check read the KidsCamp and KidsCamp FAQs pages.

These five sponsors go above and beyond in their sponsorship of WordCamps. They have stepped up to being “Global Sponsors”. Be sure to stop by their table to say “hello” and “thank you”. Without them we could not put on a quality event!
