01 / The Problem
You use AI every day but you're barely scratching the surface. You've heard of Claude Code, agent teams, MCP, the Agent SDK — but you haven't had time to go deep. Meanwhile the engineers who have are shipping 3–5x faster.
02 / The Transformation

Walk in a Claude user. Walk out a Claude engineer.

Three days separates the engineers who use AI casually from the ones building with it as a core part of their workflow. Here's the delta.

before

Where you are now

  • Casual Claude Chat user, mostly pasting snippets back and forth
  • Haven't tried Claude Code beyond a quick demo
  • Don't know the API, tool use, or structured outputs
  • Quietly nervous AI might replace you
  • Copy/paste workflow, single-threaded prompting
  • No CLAUDE.md, no MCP servers, no custom commands
after

Where you'll be

  • A full Claude engineering system configured on your actual codebase
  • Multi-agent workflows running in parallel via worktrees and sub-agents
  • Building AI features into your apps with the Messages API and Agent SDK
  • The engineer on your team everyone asks for help
  • Headless Claude automating PR reviews, tests, and refactors
  • CLAUDE.md, hooks, skills, MCP — all tuned to how you work
03 / Curriculum

Three days. Eight hours. The whole product suite.

A complete arc from how LLMs work to multi-agent orchestration and the Developer Platform. Every section is live, hands-on, and directly applicable to your codebase.

04 / What's Included

Everything you need to go from user to expert.

No upsells. No 'advanced tier.' One price, everything in.

8 hours of live instruction

Taught live over 3 days — not a pre-recorded course you'll never finish.

Hands-on with your actual codebase

Exercises are designed so you're building against real work, not toy examples.

The Claude Code Engineering Toolkit

5 CLAUDE.md templates, a cheat sheet, decision guide, and 3 custom slash commands.

Exercise repo + starter code

A shared repo with scaffolded challenges for every section of the curriculum.

90-day access to recordings

Missed something? Rewatch every session for three months after the cohort.

Lifetime alumni Discord

Ongoing community of engineers going deep on Claude, updated as the ecosystem evolves.

Certificate of completion

A shareable credential for LinkedIn, your manager, or your team lead.

Living curriculum updates

As Claude ships new features, you get updated material for free — forever.

05 / The Instructor

Taught by an engineer who ships with Claude daily.

Kev Gary

Founder & Lead Instructor, Claude Camp

I've spent the last 10+ years building production systems in TypeScript, React, and GCP — shipping consumer products used by millions of people at Credit Karma at Intuit. My entire engineering workflow runs through Claude: design, code, review, debug, deploy.

I use Claude across every product Anthropic ships — Chat, Code, the API, the Agent SDK, MCP servers, everything — and I've spent the last year systematizing what actually works. Claude Camp is that system, distilled.

I've taught and mentored engineers throughout my career — this cohort is how I'm scaling that to more people at once, in the most direct way possible.

06 / Pricing

Simple pricing. No upsells.

Volume discounts for teams. Private cohorts for enterprise. Most companies cover this through education benefits.

07 / FAQ

Questions engineers ask.

What if I'm already pretty good with Claude?
Day 3 alone is worth the price — agent orchestration, the Messages API, Agent SDK, Managed Agents, and building custom MCP servers. Most 'pretty good' Claude users haven't touched those. You'll leave with multi-agent workflows and real API integrations you wouldn't have built on your own.
What if I fall behind during live sessions?
Office hours are scheduled after Day 1. Every session is recorded and you have 90-day access. The alumni Discord is there for ongoing support. Nobody gets left behind — we run cohorts small enough (10–20) to actually help everyone.
Is this just for senior engineers?
No. Any engineer who writes code professionally will get value. The curriculum starts from foundations — how LLMs work, the landscape, setup — before going deep. Junior engineers often get the biggest absolute delta because they come in with the fewest preconceptions.
Why macOS only?
Consistency. Everyone runs the same terminal, same paths, same tooling. I've taught enough sessions to know how much time evaporates debugging Windows path issues during live exercises. For the first cohorts I'm keeping it macOS-only so we can move fast. Linux support is on the roadmap.
What's the refund policy?
Full refund if you cancel 48+ hours before the cohort starts. After that, we'll credit your seat to any future cohort. If you show up to Day 1 and it's not what you expected, tell me by end of Day 1 and I'll refund you in full — no hard feelings.
Can my company pay for this?
Yes. We offer invoice and PO billing for teams — just email us with your company details and we'll send you an invoice you can submit to AP. Education budgets, L&D budgets, engineering enablement — any of those usually work. Share the 'Convince Your Boss' page (/for-managers) with your manager.
