DMA - More than a Computer Camp
The Digital Media Academy is The Summer Computer Camp for Teens. No other computer camp offers DMA's unique, high-tech summer camp experience. At DMA teens can explore possible career paths, prepare for college, gain practical work skills and even earn certification. All while enjoying an incredible summer camp with other creative teens. Our summer camps offer a more sophisticated learning environment than any other summer computer camp. All teen camp courses are project based and taught by award-winning industry experts in state-of-the-art facilities. DMA instructors share cutting-edge skills and teach using the very latest technology.

DMA’s goal is not to be the biggest but the best summer computer camp for teens. Our summer camp/courses and programs are truly teen focused which allows us to offer a more mature “teenage appropriate” experience.
Here’s how we differ:
| The DMA Difference: For Teens | |
Stanford University Accreditation |
As the only summer computer camp accredited by Stanford University, we maintain a very high standard of excellence that comes through in everything we do. All DMA summer courses (5 days in length) are offered for an optional 4 quarter units of credit through the Stanford University Continuing Studies Program. |
Passionate, Professional - Post College - Teachers |
We believe that passionate and successful professionals make the best teachers. We don’t hire college students to teach our classes. We employ award-winning digital media professionals, master teachers and certified Apple, Adobe and Autodesk instructors. |
Teen Specific & Teen Focused
|
DMA’s teen summer camp courses and curriculum are created specifically for teenagers. We don’t mix ages 9 -17 together, in fact we have a completely separate program for students under the age of 13. This allows for a more rewarding, challenging and enjoyable day or overnight camp experience for teens. |
Pro Series Course Option for Teens |
Teens who attend DMA’s computer camp can also take pro-series courses at all our locations. DMA’s Pro Series offers college/professional level courses that are open to (advanced) teens. No other computer camp offers teens such an opportunity to advance their skills. |
Each DMA Course is Unique |
Because of the multiple levels (I, II, III & IV) we offer many of our courses at, teens aren’t expected to repeat the same course multiple times (like other computer camps) in order to get more advanced. |
Teachers with Subject Specific Expertise |
Instructors are hired for specific expertise and not expected to teach beginners and advanced students in the same course. This allows for beginning, intermediate and advanced students to be grouped and instructed accordingly. |
| Multi-Week Certificate Programs | DMA offers multiweek certificate programs in 3d Game Design, Digital Filmmaking and Maya (3d modeling and animation) |
| Separate Classroom & Residential Staff | Professional master instructors in class + energetic counselors outside of class. This approach assures our staff are fresh and motivated each day. You won’t find this arrangement at other major computer camps. |
Teen Overnight Camp Activities
DMA summer camps are a great opportunity for students to explore the college campus with new friends. In the evening, students staying overnight may return to the classroom to work on course projects, hang out in the dorm, or participate in organized activities. For more about overnight computer camp activities, see the Teen Camps' For Parents page.
