About the activity:

Game on! In this dynamic camp for gamers of all kinds, play, strategy, and creativity take center stage as Makers dive into the art of world-building. From tabletop and card games to outdoor adventures, campers will explore game fundamentals and then take it a step further—designing and creating their own original play experiences to share! Plus, they’ll get an introduction to Scratch, experimenting with animation basics as their skills grow. MAKERS answers the question, "How does it happen?" by empowering campers to bring their ideas to life! With eight weeks of hands-on exploration, each dedicated to a unique specialty, they can dive deeper into their favorite subjects—whether it’s animation, coding, LEGO engineering, or graphic design. Let the games begin!
