In Minecraft Builders Spring Break Camp, Kids ages 7-13 will explore a new, exciting side to one of their favorite games. Camp runs April 10-14 for kids ages 7-13.
Throughout the week your child will have the opportunity to work alongside their peers through creative game play, spirited build battles, and small challenges that will create new bonds, sharpen their real-world skills, and deliver creative solutions. They will learn how to work as part of a collective to achieve a common objective (winning and losing as a unit). This camp will support kids in understanding the bigger picture and benefits to gaming through the lens of Minecraft. Kids will be split into groups that will work together throughout the week to prepare and execute on their creative daily builds. All their work will culminate to a competition series that will be broadcast and recorded for parents, friends, and family to enjoy.
Minecraft Builders Camp is for kids ages 7-13 and runs Monday, April 10th through Friday, April 14th from 9am-3pm.
