Our Staff

We know the right instructor changes everything. Our staff empowers students with the most in-demand tech skills, while bringing our fun, inclusive camp culture to life.

Top university recruits and industry pros

Our selective hiring practices, honed for over 20 years, yield the most highly qualified, passionate instructors from tech companies and universities like Caltech and NYU.

All adults, no CITs, and thorough background checks

We adhere to a policy of no “Counselors in Training.” Instead, you’ll find fun-loving, well-paid, all-adult instructors. We take safety seriously. All staff members undergo extensive background and reference checks.

Trained in person

Once hired, each staff member attends Regional Staff Training. Via hands-on workshops, collaborative activities, and in-depth educational sessions, they hone their teaching methods and get immersed in our core values.

From its red brick, Georgian architecture to its reputation as one of the preeminent public research universities in the United States, UMD serves as an inspiring campus location. During outdoor activities and breaks between lab sessions, iD Tech students can experience life as a Terrapin, enjoying all this College Park campus has to offer including Mackeldin Mall, Peace Garden, and more.

In addition to skill-building and friendships, each iD Tech camp offers students the valuable opportunity of exploring a prestigious university campus. At University of Maryland, this includes chowing down in the South Campus Dining Hall alongside future tech disruptors, taking in campus landmarks like Rossborough Inn, and basking in the sunshine during outdoor activities and games across McKeldin Mall. The entire experience gives students an exciting glimpse into their own bright future.
