2. About iD Tech Summer Camp The iD Tech story began in a studio above a garage in 1999. We had a simple mission – To provide a world class computer camp experience to young people with a passion for technology and computers. All we wanted to do was to ignite and stoke the Internal Drive (now you know what iD stands for!) in our campers. Twelve years down the line, we have more students each year than any of our competitors. iD Tech now comprises of the flagship brand iD Tech Camps, the iD Visual Arts Academy, the iD Gaming Academy, the iD OnSite and the iD Programming Academy. iD Tech was born with a commitment to quality and dedication; that’s what makes us different. As a family-owned and managed company, we pride ourselves on the close attention we pay to all the details that really matter – hand-picked staff; risk management; personalized instruction and a stimulating yet safe environment. Keeping our staff and students happy is the guiding force behind all we do and the glowing testimonials bear us out. We have successfully experimented with blending the nostalgic charm and leisure of traditional summer camps with cutting edge tech programs.
