WAIVER

WordCamp parents can now usher in the next generation of WordPress builders at our annual KidsCamp! Parents attending WordCamp can bring their junior website creators along and enjoy a day of parent-child learning under the advisement of some of our WordPress Experts!

These special kid-friendly lessons will introduce your child to the wonderful world of WordPress and help them learn or improve upon WordPress development, design, and use skills! After the day is complete, your child will leave with their very own WordPress.com or WordPress.org site up and running! We will have 2 learning tracks for the children who are new to WordPress and for those more advanced students. The event will also include hands-on STEAM education projects for the students to enjoy. 

Interested WordPress parents or guardians will need to have a ticket for Saturday attendance purchased before signing up their junior creators. Parents will be responsible for staying with their child during KidsCamp but may switch guardians during the course of the day if you are both attending. Each child will need his or her own laptop to work on.

Each KidsCamp ticket provides your child with lunch, an afternoon snack, and full access to the day’s lessons. We are accepting children from ages 7 to 14 to participate in these special lessons and spots are limited to only 30 students (not including their parental sponsors).

Ready to start your child out on their own WordPress project? KidsCamp tickets will go on sale with the general admission tickets in June (both the parents and the children need tickets). Also, if you have an older child ready to learn some advanced topics, they are welcome to join us for the full sessions and workshops with a regular ticket!
