Minecraft Camp
ACTIVE LEARNING presents: Minecraft & Video Game Creation Camp (Ages 7-14)
Modding, Networking, and Hosting with Minecraft
Minecraft is hugely popular because it is a collaborative, open-ended, and moddable program. Our program promotes those qualities for a week of fun! The week begins with learning the game, controls, recipes, and a bit about hosting and networking. Next, campers are connecting to different worlds hosted on our secure server and experimenting with character skins, mods, and custom maps. By day three, the kids are building a moat or even creating a chessboard, and the possibilities are nearly limitless. As with all our game creation options, this camp encourages creativity, storytelling, programming, and problem-solving for their young minds.

Video Game Creation Camp
Platform Style - IN the Style of Sonic & Mario
Ages 7-14, Introductory to Intermediate –
Morning session- AM, Afternoon session PM or Full Day
In this camp, children build a game described as a “platform” like Sonic or Mario. Children have a blast as their characters overcome obstacles and opponents and then conquer the Big Boss. The character progresses on a long path/journey with the background scrolling behind it as adversaries, prizes, and obstacles are encountered along the way. Lessons on the basics will be similar to the Arcade course in the very beginning, but the class diverges, and different programming techniques are taught in order to build this Platform game. As with all of our game creation options, this camp encourages creativity, storytelling, programming, and problem-solving for their young mind.
