Your Child's Mentor
Scott Brereton
Founder & Lead Mentor, Camp Prompt
Two years ago, Scott couldn't write a single line of code. Then he discovered AI tools that let anyone with a good idea build real software. He's since shipped four products that real people use, run a top-rated online business, and built tools that transformed his company's sales team.
Now he helps young people do the same thing.
Scott's Journey
From ideas to real products
The same path your child will take — just a few years ahead.
Scott has an MBA from McGill University, where he graduated on the Dean's Honour List and was named a Poets & Quants 2022 MBA to Watch. He also holds a BA in Economics from McGill.
He spent years in business — selling enterprise software, launching products, and starting companies (some of which failed, and he'll tell your kid about those too). He always had ideas for things he wanted to build, but the gap between having an idea and making it real felt impossibly wide.
Then AI tools changed everything. In the past two years, Scott has shipped four real products that people actually use — an app on the App Store, a platform that charities pay for, an online shop with thousands of five-star reviews, and AI tools that doubled his sales team's results. None of it required a computer science degree. It required knowing what to build, having the taste to make it good, and being willing to put it out into the world.
That's exactly what he teaches at Camp Prompt.
Track Record
What Scott has built
Real products, built from scratch, that people actually use.
Processional
Built a wedding planning app and got it published on the Apple App Store in under a month — from initial idea to a product anyone can download.
Live on the App Store
Free Charity Receipts
Built a platform that real Canadian charities use every day to send official tax receipts to their donors — with a website, mobile app, and payment processing all working together.
Paying customers with zero marketing
Years of Patents
Ran a top 1% Etsy shop selling vintage patent art prints — built the entire business from scratch, from product design to customer service to fulfillment.
2,000+ five-star reviews
AI Sales Tools
Built AI-powered tools that automated tedious sales tasks at his company — qualifying leads, drafting emails, and scheduling meetings — so his team could focus on real conversations.
Doubled his team's sales performance
Trust & Safety
Why your child is in good hands
What sets Camp Prompt apart from a class, a bootcamp, or a YouTube tutorial.
Education you can trust
McGill MBA (Poets & Quants 2022 MBA to Watch, Dean's Honour List) and a McGill BA in Economics. Scott brings real academic discipline to how he teaches.
A proven builder
Four shipped products that real people use, a top 1% Etsy business, and tools that doubled a sales team's performance. Scott doesn't just talk about building — he does it.
Dedicated 1-on-1 attention
This isn't a classroom with 30 kids. Your child gets Scott's full, undivided attention twice a week — plus mentor work between sessions to keep their project moving forward.
The same tools the pros use
Your child won't learn on toy software. They'll use the exact same AI-powered tools that professional developers and startups use today to build real products.
Safety
Your child's safety comes first
- Background-checked. Scott has completed a criminal background check and is available to share it with any parent upon request.
- Sessions are recorded. Every session is recorded and available to parents. This is both a safety measure and a way for you to see your child's progress.
- Parents can observe. You're welcome to sit in on any session — especially the first one. We want you to feel comfortable before your child continues.
- Open communication. Parents receive a progress update after every session. You'll always know what your child is working on and how they're doing.
- Your child sets the pace. If your child isn't comfortable, isn't enjoying it, or wants to stop, we respect that immediately. Full refund before Session 1, 50% before Session 4.
The Story
Why I built Camp Prompt
Two years ago I couldn't code. I had ideas — I always had ideas — but the gap between “I want to build this” and “this is live on the internet” felt impossibly wide. Then AI tools changed everything.
I built my first real app in a weekend. Then another. Then I shipped an iOS app to the App Store in under a month. I built a platform that charities actually pay to use. I built AI tools that did my sales job better than my sales team could.
None of this required a computer science degree. It required knowing what to build, having the taste to make it good, and being willing to ship it.
That's what I want to teach young people. Not how to code — how to build. How to take an idea that matters to them and turn it into something real. Something they can show to their friends, put on their college application, or just feel proud of.
Camp Prompt exists because the tools are finally here, and kids deserve a mentor who actually uses them — not someone who teaches from a textbook.
