Nestled along the Pootatuck River (inside Rocky Glen State Park) in a newly expanded space of 3,200 square feet, Affinity Esports is paving the way to healthier gaming experiences by providing a safe community meeting space for kids and teens to play games and interact with their peers all while learning technology and problem-solving skills. With studios in both Newtown and Milford, kids and teens can enjoy a space that features gaming PCS, streaming setups, big screen TVs, whiteboards, and Nintendo Switches!
Have your child join us for a Summer of fun at Affinity Esports!
Kids and teens will enjoy a power-packed schedule, including camps for aspiring competitors, casual gamers, content creators, coders, and girls in gaming. Camps cover 30 hours of engaging activities that drive socialization, skill development, and passion. Days are balanced between the camp’s theme, education around healthy gaming habits, and regular screen breaks. While away from their screen, your child can be found taking walks, doing quick exercise drills, pausing for regular hydration, eating lunch outside, completing team building activities, or playing tabletop games. During the week, your kids will spend roughly half of their time away from the screen, being socially engaged, and fusing their passion for the digital world into peer-to-peer interactions, critical skill development, and new perspectives.
Camps are made possible and enhanced through the support of industry experts, experienced coaches and instructors, well-rounded camp counselors, and our amazing partners at Post University’s Esports Department.
