Your Child's Mentor
Scott Brereton
Founder & Lead Mentor, Camp Prompt
Scott builds real products with AI tools — the same ones your child will learn at Camp Prompt. He's shipped five products that real people use, including three on the App Store, and run a top-rated online business.
Now he helps young people do the same thing.
Scott's Journey
From ideas to real products
How Scott went from ideas to shipped products — and why he started teaching.
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, and AI tools gave him the ability to actually ship them.
Scott has shipped five real products that people use — three apps on the App Store, a platform that charities pay for, and an online shop with thousands of five-star reviews. 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.

Trust & Safety
Why your child is in good hands
Why parents trust their kids with this program.
Academic background
McGill MBA (Poets & Quants 2022 MBA to Watch, Dean's Honour List) and a BA in Economics.
Five shipped products
Three apps on the App Store, a platform with paying users, and a top 1% Etsy business with 2,000+ five-star reviews.
Dedicated 1-on-1 attention
This isn't a classroom with 30 kids. Your child gets Scott's full attention twice a week, plus he works on their project between sessions to keep momentum.
The same tools the pros use
Your child won't learn on toy software. They'll use the same AI tools that professional developers and startups ship with.
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
I've always had ideas for things I wanted to build. AI tools made it possible to actually ship them. I've put three apps on the App Store, built a platform that charities pay to use, and ran a business with thousands of five-star reviews.
None of that 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 what I 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.
The Person
Outside the screen
Scott lives in Montreal with his wife Laurence. When he's not building or mentoring, you'll find him in the mountains or in his workshop.
