  I have done them the last two years. The movie one is really neat. They learn how to make a movie including a soundtrack with Garage Band. OR they write an electronic book including illustrations. Plus a free shirt and a USB stick to save their work one

  They aren’t strict about age. If you child can follow simple directions and can manage a tablet they will be fine. My store has had kids as young as six.

  Wanted to add…when you sign up they never ask for birthday info so if you think your kid can handle it they should be ok.

  Full here too – Southeastern VA. We did the movie one last year and were looking forward to the coding camp this year. Last year, they had openings the day the classes started, and still had less than full classes. I think many sign up, make other plans, and fail to cancel, denying kids that wanted to go the chance. I truly wish they would charge a nominal fee to avoid this – I’d gladly pay for the tee, USB stick and earbuds, just for the chance my daughter could attend.

    Is the Coding / Robots one new? Thanks for the heads up! My kids have enjoyed doing this for the past two summers. They took the story one the first year, and the movie one last year. They weren’t given a ton of information … They were taught how to do something for about 15 minutes and then they are given the rest of the time to create something using that information, but I thought it was worth it. They got a free (nice!) T-shirt and an Apple thumb drive that was also pretty cool.

  sorry if my onlinement shows up multiple times, i cannot see it at this point, so i am trying a 3rd time (i am afraid all will show up at once – and i don’t know how to remove or edit extra onlinements.)
  you are supposed to stay during the camp. i have done this multiple years, and i have had babies in strollers, so i have been able to go in and out/walk up and down the sidewalk in front of the store during the time my older kids are doing the camp. the employees seemed to be fine with that, but could easily find me in front of the store if there was a problem and i was needed. (for example, once my daughter threw up in the store during one of the camp days. someone poked their head out to wave me over and let me know.)
  on the presentation day, all parents stay present in the store to see the kids show their final projects.

  (sorry, i was trying to edit my onlinement above and i don’t know how to make changes. it posted before i was ready.)
  To Girlwork: you are supposed to stay in the store. i have done this multiple years, and i always have babies in strollers at the same time as my older kids are in the Apple Camp. i do stroll in and out during the camp and walk up and down the sidewalk in front of the store during the class, and it has not seemed to be a problem.
  i think the employees just want to be able to find you if there is a problem. (like once one of my kids threw up during the class, so someone poked their head out of the store to alert me.)
  one of the days is a presentation day for all campers, and all parents stay present during that day for the kids to showcase their work.

    For the movie camp, does each child make their own movie or do they work in groups?

  They make their own movie. Last year I took both of my boys (ages 8 & 10). One made a stop motion Lego movie he worked hard on at home and the other did a green screen movie about space that was made mostly at the store.

  I haven’t received an email either and I did it early this morning. However, it does show up in my reservations in my Apple ID account. This was hard to find. Go to apple.online. Choose the location you registered at. You should see a place to view your reservations as long as you are signed into your apple account.
