Why Urban Coders Guild’s Summer Coding Camps Are the Smart Choice for Tulsa Families

Summer is almost here, and while many families are finalizing vacation plans or looking forward to a break in the routine, one opportunity stands out for students to get ahead while having fun: Urban Coders Guild’s Summer Coding Camps. With only a few weeks until launch and 48 students already signed up, spots are filling fast—but there’s still time to enroll your middle or high schooler in a life-changing experience.

If you're a parent, grandparent, or guardian who’s on the fence, we understand. You want to ensure your child is safe, learning, and growing—especially during the summer months. You may be asking: “Is this the right program for my child?” or “Will they be overwhelmed or bored?” Let us walk you through why Urban Coders Guild is a program you can trust—and why your student will thrive here.

1. A Safe, Supportive Environment Where Every Child Belongs

We get it—handing your child over to a new program can be nerve-wracking. At Urban Coders Guild, students are not just attendees; they’re part of a community. Our instructors and mentors create a welcoming, inclusive space for students of all backgrounds and experience levels. Whether your child is brand new to tech or already experimenting with code, they'll find encouragement, patience, and room to grow.

2. Real-World Skills That Go Beyond the Screen

This isn’t just “screen time.” It’s skill-building for college and career.

Our summer camps introduce students to in-demand technologies like:

• Web development

• Python

• Unity game design

• Cybersecurity

These are real-world, future-ready skills that build critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. And unlike many camps, we don’t stop at the basics—students will walk away with projects they can showcase on college applications, portfolios, and even LinkedIn.

3. A Launchpad for College and Career Readiness

In today’s world, computer science isn’t optional—it’s essential. Urban Coders Guild equips your student not just to consume technology, but to create it.

And the benefits don’t end in August.

Our summer students often continue into our free year-round afterschool programs, which offer:

• Academic credit opportunities

• Industry certifications (like ISC2 in cybersecurity)

• Professional headshots for LinkedIn profiles

• Internships and apprenticeships with local tech companies

This is a pathway to Tulsa’s growing tech workforce—starting as early as 6th grade.

4. It’s Free. It’s Local. And It’s Designed for Tulsa Families.

All Urban Coders Guild programs are 100% free for middle and high school students in the Tulsa area. Camps will be held at accessible locations in Tulsa, and we offer support with transportation and meals, so all your student needs to bring is their curiosity and creativity.

Our schedule was designed with families in mind. Camps are structured, yet fun—keeping students engaged while giving them room to enjoy their summer.

5. Representation Matters—And So Does Community

Urban Coders Guild is committed to providing opportunities to Black, brown, Indigenous, and female-identifying students who have traditionally been underrepresented in tech.

When students see mentors and instructors who look like them and share their lived experiences, they start to believe in their own power to shape the future.
