🎮 CALLING ALL GAMERS! 🎮
This Spring Break, we’re hitting start on an epic week of play, creativity, and teamwork with our Spring Break Gamer Blast camp. Running from Monday, March 30 to Thursday, April 2, campers ages 9-13 will dive into a mix of computer games and Minecraft, working together to build, explore, and solve challenges. But this isn’t just about screen time. We’ll balance digital fun with classic and modern board games, plus high-energy social games like Werewolf, where strategy, communication, and teamwork are key.
One of the highlights of the week is level design. Campers will step into the role of creators using a Mario 2D level editor, learning how games are built by designing their own playable levels. Along the way, they’ll explore concepts like level flow, challenge, creativity, and player experience, all in a hands-on, kid-friendly way.
For parents, Spring Break Gamer Blast is more than just fun. Campers will build problem-solving skills, collaboration, creativity, and confidence in a supervised, structured environment led by experienced instructors. We emphasize positive gaming habits, teamwork, and inclusive play so everyone feels welcome, whether they’re a hardcore gamer or just getting started.
For kids, it’s simple: play games, make friends, design cool stuff, and have an awesome Spring Break! Spots are limited, so don’t wait to secure your child’s place in this ultimate gaming adventure.
