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.

Our Palo Alto programs have a large, established following and are a destination for students across the U.S.?and around the world. With gorgeous grounds, California Mission-style architecture, and state-of-the-art academic facilities, this campus provides the perfect balance of beauty and function. Located between San Jose and San Francisco, this location is a convenient, inspiring option for Bay Area and out-of-town students. 

In addition to skill-building and friendships, each iD Tech camp offers students the valuable opportunity of exploring a prestigious university campus. At Stanford University, this includes chowing down in dining halls alongside future tech disruptors, taking in campus landmarks like Hoover Tower, and basking in the sunshine during outdoor activities and games across Levin Field. The entire experience gives students an exciting glimpse into their own bright future.
