I just want to add that after re-opening during this time of COVID-19, they have done a great job mitigating infection risk at their summer camps. They require the kids to wear their own masks, provide shoe covers and face shields, put up walls between computers and spread them out, limit class sizes, check temperatures on arrival, require parents to fill out a form asserting their child is not infected or exposed to infected people (to their knowledge), and keep parents outside during pick-up/drop-off. Also, my son said they made him wash his hands 5 times today haha. They are doing everything I could think of and more to help us feel safer and prevent the spread of coronavirus. Oh, and my son still likes the classes too. read more

My son loved digital adventures! For a long time I've wanted my son to get out of the consumer mindset and shift to the developer mindset. I believe that shift is now underway D.A. does a phenomenal job of integrating the fundamentals of coding with his favorite video games, Roblox and Minecraft. The prices are also quite reasonable. I was very impressed with my son's progress and we were looking to give him a more specialized focus in terms of his interests and strengths with the classes they offer. I was so impressed seeing the 4th graders code full robotics applications after only 1 year of these classes. My son also enjoyed bonding with the kids there, and seem to enjoy working with them more than the kids at his school. He made some friends. I highly recommend this place. read more

Very poor experience. Emailed twice and owner is unresponsive. Signed up for a class and received an email that time isn't available (why is it listed then?) when I asked for other availability or if a private lesson would be available, owner never responded. Had to email again for a refund; of course no response just an email says later automated that a refund has been issued. Not sure how you run a business where you just ignore email inquiries. I think when this place had a physical location they were better perhaps, but now that it is all online I guess the dynamic has changed. Would never recommend. read more

To be clear, I can only review Digital Adventures for their day-off camp offering. Thanksgiving week my daughter's school took the whole week off and by Wednesday we were driving each other crazy. Looked around last minute for a fun half or full day camp and found all the usual suspects... Closed! Seemed odd, but DA to the rescue. Little disappointed they only had like 3 or 4 kids that day (and no girls! ) but she had a great time and didn't want to leave when I picked her up six hours later. They even let her make a harry potter elder wand with the 3D printer, which she is still a bit infatuated with. It's a little pricey but not shocking for Lincoln Park. Hoping to try a more extensive program at some point. For day camp, definitely recommend. read more

This is an overdue review. My son, who is now a rising high school sophomore, has been going to Digital Adventures for a couple of years. Before going here, he took a few summer camps at a digital camp took place at University of Chicago run by a large organization located in CA. He said that Digital Adventures is so much more helpful than the pricey summer camp we used to do. The instructors here are amazing. The curriculum design is structured in a way that children can make piecemeal improvement while gaining confidence and growing interest in coding. My son was a little behind in CS class at the British School when he started, and he just ended with an A in CS on his first year high school transcript!! Just sign up - you won't regret it! read more

We started Digital Adventures this fall for my daughter that was interested in animation. She loved her experience. They also did a great job with follow up and specific information about what she accomplished in each class. We are moving to the north shore but will most defiantely continue going in their Winnetka location. read more

Digital Adventures has been a welcome addition to the Saint Juliana Fine Arts extracurricular offerings! Students love the coding and animation classes, and even though classes start before school at 7am, it's never hard to get them excited to get up and go! They want to be there, which is a true credit to the business and its professional instructors. So glad they're coming back next year! read more

My son spent a morning off of school with a camp at Digital Adventures. He loved it! I inquired about a camp and when there wasn't one listed on the day I needed, I emailed them. Not only did they respond that same day, but they ended up scheduling a camp for the day I requested. Such great customer service. My son is eager to return. When I went to pick him up he wanted to continue working on his project and worked another 20 minutes. He said the morning flew by. We will definitely return. read more

We recently held my son's 11th Birthday at Digital Adventures. The process was so seamless that we felt like we needed to repeatedly call to make sure that everything was all set. On the day of the party, we arrived at a beautiful facility staffed with two knowledgeable instructors. The owner was also there and him and my husband enjoyed conversation while our crew of 10 kids enjoyed learning to code ROBLOX. The process was every parent's dream as it required pretty much nothing from me but filling out a form and showing up. I highly recommend Digital Adventures. read more

Had a birthday party here for 8 boys (ages 6-9) and they had a great time (and learned a few things as well). We were a bit concerned before the event about the amount of coding that might be involved but it worked out great as the instructors tailored their assistance to what the individual children wanted to do. There were 2-3 adults supervising the kids so there was plenty of attention provided for individual questions. The space is nice and clean and the location is great. We hope to get our kids back this summer for some individual classes or maybe a camp. read more

At Digital Adventures, kids learn really cool stuff from coding to robotics to 3D printing and no prior experience is needed. Initially, my 2nd and 3rd graders were a bit nervous to start camp but by the end of the week they became huge fans. Each day my kids were excited to come back, and it also gave them the confidence to learn new things. In addition, since both my kids are heavy iPad users, my husband and I felt that it was important to also teach them the back-end technology to understand how tech works and to be able to build things from scratch. Great job, Digital Adventures! read more

My son loves Digital Adventures! The instructors are great and the content is awesome! My son has so much fun while actually learning.

Excellent instructors who are knowledgeable and patient. My son had little experience and they made him feel comfortable and confident.

My kids LOVED this camp. I appreciated having the flexibility of a half day option, but when they came home they both said they wanted to stay full day. They experienced new challenges every day and certainly learned new skills, even with respect to programs they had already used. Also they offer before and after care. read more

Great experience with the day Camp. My daughter loved it. The counselors/teachers are super friendly and high energy. Having the option to do daily and not weekly was also great. read more

My nephew Caleb was visiting this summer and instead of sitting at my house watching me work I thought I would enroll him in a day camp. He is a typical teen and not really impressed by much but he couldn't stop raving about his week at DA. When he was leaving Chicago he said he wanted to come back to Chicago next summer so he could go back to camp... even if I didn't live here anymore :) read more

My son Baron LOVES Digital Adventures! He is a regular during the year at this location and last week, he decided to do a 1/2 day summer camp. He had SOOO much fun and if we have time, he will do another camp this month. He loves the variety and is learning a lot about programming, robotics and graphic design. We toured the Kennedy Space Center today on vacation and he was able to relate what he does at Digital Adventures with what he learned about the future of the space program. We attended a lunch with an Astronaut - Captain Creighton - who commanded three Shuttle flights - and he talked about technology and STEM in general. Captain Creighton also talked about how important a background is in STEM in general but just as important - learn as much as you can about technology. read more

Great camp! Both our children (6 and 10) went for a week, learned a lot and had fun. Small group, great teachers, inspiring environment.

If you want a place where your child will actually learn and not just play, this is the place. My son has taken coding classes at various places in the Chicagoland area and this is by far the most educational. He came home from summer camp and I couldn't believe how much he learned in one week. He also wanted to continue to code and do digital art on his computer while at home. The instructors are well educated and really know their stuff. They make it fun to learn and class sizes are not very large. I am signing him up for Brain Games classes in the fall. read more

My 9 year old son loved Digital Adventures! He loved creating his own monster and seeing it come to life in the 3D printing camp. The teachers were very welcoming and knowledgeable. It was also super helpful to have the flexibility of a daily (rather than weekly) camp option. Definitely a great experience! read more
