Roblox Coding Summer Camp in San Antonio — Build Games at Jacked-In VR | VR

On a busy stretch of Fredericksburg Road in San Antonio, Jacked-In VR’s Roblox Coding Summer Camp turns screen time into a week of making. Located at 1924 Fredericksburg Road, San Antonio, TX 78201, this five‑day day camp (9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., Monday–Friday) teaches kids aged 7–14 how to design, script, and publish playable Roblox games using Roblox Studio and Lua. For families who want an immersive, hands‑on STEAM experience without the usual extracurricular fluff, the camp blends roughly 50% instruction with 50% guided VR play, small‑group projects, and playtesting.

The classroom itself reads like a miniature game studio: rows of workstations with Roblox Studio installed, a bank of VR headsets for design feedback, a 3D printing bench for physical prototyping, and a presentation area where students demo finished projects at the end of the week. Key features include daily modules—getting started with Studio, core game mechanics, advanced player interaction, polish and UI, and final publishing—so each camper finishes with a published Roblox experience and a grasp of scripting fundamentals. Instructors focus on Lua basics (variables, functions, events), debugging, and game logic so students learn transferable problem‑solving skills as well as creative design.

Beyond coding, Jacked-In VR places this program within San Antonio’s expanding maker and tech education scene. Practical touches—arrival as early as 8:30 a.m., pick‑up windows, late‑pick‑up options, and available financial aid—make it manageable for working families. Rate information is transparent: the five‑day camp is listed at $435, and Afterpay is offered as a budgeting option.

Why book it? This is a place where kids move from consumer to creator quickly: they leave with a tangible project, presentation experience, and confidence in a real development toolset. The structured schedule keeps momentum, while built‑in playtesting and peer feedback mirror studio workflows used in actual game teams. The camp’s urban location makes it an easy daytrip for San Antonio residents and a practical option for visitors with children exploring the city’s museums and parks.

Practical note: the meeting point is the facility at 1924 Fredericksburg Road; bring a refillable water bottle, snacks or lunch if not provided, and closed‑toe shoes for any maker‑space demos. Financial aid applications are available online, and finished games can be shared with friends and family. Jacked-In VR’s Roblox Coding Summer Camp is an efficient, creative week that turns curiosity into code.

Instructors are experienced educators and game developers who keep groups small for one‑on‑one debugging help, and staff follow clear safety and screen‑time guidelines to balance hands‑on VR with seated coding. Parents are invited to the Friday demo to see projects and capture video of final presentations. Because the camp emphasizes collaborative problem solving, many campers form year‑round friendships and return for advanced sessions.
