Tekkie Uni offers awesome animation summer camps for young kids. It's designed for beginners ages 8 to 9 and teaches basic art concepts as well as technology STEM skills. They learn by creating animation projects that involve designing random shapes, virtualizing a bouncing ball to practice frame-by-frame animation, and many more.
Kids take 32 classes spread out over nine months. While it technically extends past summer, the course won't interfere with their school work. They just need to commit 2 hours a week, including 1 hour for the class itself and another for practice and homework.
Aside from learning about animation, kids also learn creative thinking, self-expression, and problem-solving. They'll be challenged to think of a final project, so they end up creating a short film by the end of the course. It's also one of the most budget-friendly options.
