Quality STEM shouldn't require a 45-minute drive north

The corridor from Kwinana to Mandurah is home to thousands of families — and almost zero quality holiday coding programmes. Base Camp Code was built to fix that.

We run small, teacher-led camps where students actually build things: robots that avoid obstacles, games played between two BBC micro:bits, autonomous navigation challenges. Real projects with real outcomes.

Kwinana and Rockingham to start, expanding south toward Mandurah as we grow.

Age group 8 to 15 y.o. welcome — complete beginners to confident block-coders, all catered for.

Term 4 2026 — Saturdays 17-Oct to 5-Dec.

Total investment $300 per child — we'll send you an invoice once we receive the completed enrolment form.

Limited spots available.

What We Stand For

Our values

Everything we do — the programme design, the pricing, the way we talk to parents — is rooted in five values.

📍
Accessible

Quality STEM education shouldn't require a drive north. We bring it to the communities that need it most.

🔧
Hands-on

Students build, break, debug and rebuild. Learning happens through doing — not watching someone else do it.

📈
Progressive

Every camp is a stepping stone. There is always a next level — in our programme, and in life.

👩‍🏫
Teacher-led

Real curriculum expertise, not a script. Every session is designed and delivered by someone who understands how young people learn.

🎒
Ownership

Students leave with real skills and a sense of what they are genuinely capable of building.

Where We Are

South of the river. Finally.

We're starting in the Kwinana and Rockingham areas, with plans to expand south as the programme grows. No more driving to Joondalup or Mount Lawley for a decent coding camp.
