The Rise of Content Creator Camps for Kids

Children's summer camps are shifting focus from traditional activities like archery and ceramics to cater to the growing trend of kids wanting to become YouTubers and content creators. A 2019 survey revealed that nearly 30% of kids aged 8 to 12 chose YouTuber as their top career choice. In response, specialized camps such as Texas-based Creator Camp have emerged, providing programming on YouTube, Minecraft, AI, and filmmaking. These camps aim to teach kids video creation skills and help them become famous on the internet. While there are concerns about privacy, the camps also offer benefits such as teaching entrepreneurship, creativity, and transferable skills like videography and AI applications.
