A Code Camp is an off-hours forum for the development community to gather and share ideas. It is organized for, developed by, and owned by the developer community. It is always free to attendees, presenting community-developed material. The event builds development and presentation skills and encourages networking within the community.

Code Camp is a free day of learning, inspired by the original Camp Manifesto. The Jacksonville Code Camp has traditionally been organized by the Jacksonville Developers User Group (JaxDUG), coordinating local and regional community speakers for a free day of training and post event entertainment.
