Reviews from our campers last summer:

It was a great experience for my child. Great hands on projects and the use of critical thinking had my child excited and engaged to do more.

Great program! Our child participated in a 1 week camp for building, coding, and competing with Lego robots. It was a fun learning experience in a welcoming environment. Our child loved it and found it very rewarding. We recommend Code Wiz Rutherford wholeheartedly to anyone interested. Join a trial lesson and see for yourselves!

Code Wiz has been an outstanding experience for my 8 year old son. He has made incredible progress in Scratch, creating two unique and complex games that show a clear understanding of coding principles. My son is loving it - he tells me he doesn't want the Summer Camp to end. I highly recommend Code Wiz.

Very Happy and pleased with the teachers and facility.It was my daughter first time attending coding classes. Definitely will return back for different classes and activity's .Highly recommend it.

My son has attended the summer camps here last year and this year and he has had such a great time! Everyone is very nice and friendly and they all work well with him. He looks forward to attending every day! I would definitely recommend


This summer, we can't wait to welcome your child into a world of fun, creativity, and learning!
