The University of Central Florida has offered a summer competitive programming camp for high school students for over 10 years now. Multiple former students have gone onto attend the USACO Camp and one former student earned a gold medal in IOI. Several students later went onto attend the ICPC World Finals. The camp is supported by teaching assistants from the UCF Programming Team, which consistently performs well at the ICPC World Finals, earning a Bronze Medal in 2018. This year, we are proud to announce that our two instructors are Mr. Christian Lim (yongwoods), Columbia's ICPC Head Coach, and Mr. Arup Guha (wphsucf), one of UCF's team coaches.
Our target audience is US students who aim to do well in USACO who haven’t been chosen as finalists for the USACO summer training camp. In addition, we've had international students attend from Canada, Great Britain, Thailand, among others.
The camp runs from July 13, 2025 – July 25, 2015 and housing will be provided in dormitories on campus.
