Q: When is KidsCamp?
A: KidsCamp takes place on Saturday, July 20th from 9am to 3pm.
Q: Where is KidsCamp held?
A: KidsCamp will be in the same location as WordCamp in a room specifically reserved for KidsCamp. The room will have signs cleary posted. Location information will also be available on the Venue Information page of the website.
Q: Do I have to stay with my child?
A: Yes, a parent or guardian must accompany their child at all times.
Q: What if I want to attend a WordCamp session?
A: A parent or guardian must stay with their child at all times, therefore, if you wish to attend a WordCamp session, you will need a different parent or guardian to remain with your child while you attend WordCamp. You will also need to purchase a ticket for WordCamp in order to attend sessions.
Q: I bought a ticket for my child(ren) – if I stay with my child, do i need to buy a ticket for myself?
A: If you are staying with your child and not attending any WordCamp talks, then you don’t need to purchase an Attendee Ticket for yourself. We ask those attending any sessions outside of KidsCamp purchase an Attendee Ticket to help us cover costs. If the parent or child wishes to return on Sunday to attend talks, the guardian must also purchase Attendee tickets.
Q: May I bring more than one child?
A: We recommend that an adult be responsible for no more than 2 children. They will need your assistance throughout the day, and managing more than 2 can become overwhelming. Each child will need their own ticket and a waiver form must be completed for each child.
Q: Do I need to bring a laptop?
A: Yes, you MUST bring your own laptop. Tablets can also work although they are slower for many young ones (and adults) to type on.
Q: What ages are appropriate?
A: We recommend ages from 7 to 14 (depending on your child).
Q: Who is teaching KidsCamp?
A: Sandy Edwards: Sandy taught her very first KidsCamp at WordCamp Orlando in 2015. She owns Data Driven Labs, a marketing firm that brings analytics to all size companies. She loves to give back by teaching kids about coding, WordPress, and other technical skills. Sandy is very active in the Orlando WordPress community, and helps WordCamps across the country organize KidsCamps to share WordPress with the next generation of internet superstars.
Q: Can my child go to the after party?
A: Unfortunately, due to the policies at the after party venue, children are not allowed after 6pm.
Q: I’ve got a question, who can I send it to?
A: You can contact the organizers here.
