Sound Familiar?
“Every summer program teaches skills. Nobody helps them actually build something.”
“I've spent thousands on coding camps and they came home with a USB stick.”
“My kid is obsessed with technology, but all they do is consume it.”
What if they spent this summer actually making something?
Why I Started Camp Prompt
The story behind the program
Hear From the Founder
Why I started Camp Prompt
I build real products with AI tools. I've put three apps on the App Store, built a platform that charities pay to use, and ran a top 1% Etsy shop.
At some point I thought — if I can do this, what could a motivated 14-year-old do with the right mentor? That's where Camp Prompt came from.

One program. Three tracks. We figure out which one fits.

He uses these tools every day. That's what makes the mentorship real.
For parents who want more than a coding camp
We keep cohorts small for a reason. Every student gets individual attention. If your child's app doesn't ship, that's on us, not them.
Summer 2026 cohorts launch in June and August. Apply to reserve your spot.
For You, Not Your Parents
Hey — this part's for you, not your parents.
You pick the idea. You make the decisions. You ship something real that your friends can actually use.
No lectures. No homework packets. Just you, a mentor, and the same AI tools the pros use.
By the end of summer, you'll have a live app with your name on it.
Beyond the Summer
The college essay that writes itself
Admissions officers read 10,000 essays about “learning Python at coding camp.” Your child will write about the app they built that 47 classmates actually use.
A shipped app shows initiative and follow-through better than any line on a resume. And you don't have to explain it. Just hand them the URL.
Portfolio piece
A live, working app with a real URL — not a screenshot of code
Project summary
A portfolio-ready write-up of what they built, why, and how
Demonstrable skills
Product thinking, AI fluency, and the confidence to ship — not syntax
Why Camp Prompt
Built different. On purpose.
1:1 mentorship, not a classroom
Your child works directly with Scott, not in a group of 20. Sessions are shaped around their idea and how they learn best.
A shipped product, guaranteed
Your child's app will be live on the internet with a real URL. Not a demo. Not a project file on a USB stick.
AI-first, not code-first
Your child learns to direct AI tools, the same ones professional developers use. That skill won't go out of date.
Full refund guarantee
100% refund before Session 1. 50% before Session 4. If it's not the right fit, you get your money back.
Two Demo Days
Your child presents what they built at a mid-program check-in and a final showcase. Good practice for talking about their work.
Real tools, real workflow
Claude Code, Cursor, Bolt.new. These are real tools that real developers ship with, not toy software.
For Teams
We also train teams.
A hands-on crash course in AI development for the people in your org who are ready to move fast. Same methodology, built for companies.
Learn About Team Training10 spots. 6 weeks. One shipped app.
Summer 2026: June 22 through July 31, and August 3 through September 11
