The launch of DIY Camp imitates the summer camp experience for kids at a safe distance during the current COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. There are programs that are offered for free and some that are based on fees depending on what activities are selected.
The online website features dozens of activities designed to enhance a variety of skills, which are referenced to as 'challenges.' It is made for children from ages 7 and up and covers a wide range of categories that peak their interest. This includes the topics of art, music, business, and even engineering. This happens through the summer and the DIY camps also come with shorter courses with online counselors that directly interact with children to create an authentic experience.
