This summer, the halls of Delmar DivINe will echo with the sound of creativity, collaboration, and code. Kode with Klossy, a national coding camp founded by supermodel and tech advocate Karlie Kloss, is once again bringing its transformative summer camp experience to St. Louis.
Why Summer Camps Matter
Summer camps aren’t just a way to keep kids busy when school is out—they’re a vital opportunity for growth, exploration, and empowerment. Camps give young people the chance to discover new interests, build skills, and connect with mentors and peers outside of the traditional classroom setting. For many families, however, the cost of camp can be a major barrier.
That’s where Blueprint4 comes in.
Bridging the Gap in Access
Blueprint4 was founded with a mission to make enriching, high-quality summer programs more accessible to families in the St. Louis region—especially those from underserved communities. By connecting parents with free and affordable summer programs in St. Louis, we are working to break down the barriers that too often stand between kids and opportunity.
This summer, we’re helping families discover incredible experiences like Kode with Klossy. It’s free to attend, but priceless in the skills and confidence it helps instill.
A Camp with a Mission
Kode with Klossy is more than just a coding bootcamp—it’s a bold initiative to close the gender gap in tech by equipping young women and nonbinary students with the tools they need to pursue futures in STEM. Over the course of two weeks, scholars learn to code using languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript while developing real-world projects that blend technical skill with creative expression.
Hosted at Delmar DivINe, a hub for social innovation and community empowerment in St. Louis, the camp’s location further underscores the importance of investing in youth through collaboration and community. The Delmar DivINe is the initiative of our founder, Maxine Clark, and where Blueprint4 calls home as well!
Empowerment Through STEAM
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)—and its creative cousin STEAM (with the addition of the Arts)—are areas where young people are poised to lead. But representation still lags, particularly for women and people of color. Programs like Kode with Klossy aim to change that by showing girls what’s possible when they have access to the tools, mentorship, and support needed to thrive.
It’s a mission that mirrors Blueprint4’s own: to make sure all kids—not just those who can afford it—can dream big and develop the skills to make those dreams real.
A Future Built on Access and Equity
When we invest in accessible summer camps like Kode with Klossy, we’re not just filling up the calendar—we’re filling young minds with purpose and potential. We’re giving families a leg up. We’re building a stronger, more inclusive future in tech, in education, and in our communities.
As this summer unfolds, the partnership between Kode with Klossy, Blueprint4, and Delmar DivINe stands as a shining example of what happens when access meets opportunity: transformation.
And for the girls stepping into Delmar DivINe with curiosity and a laptop this summer, the possibilities are limitless.
The spots for this year are full, but you can learn more and check out the waitlist for future programs on the Kode with Klossy website.
