Weeks Offered
Discover what makes a game truly great! Campers dream up their own tabletop games, designing mechanics, writing rules, and building prototypes like real game inventors. They’ll use digital art tools and 3D printers to create custom pieces – tiny characters, tokens, tiles, and anything else their world needs. With daily playtesting and lots of “try it, fix it, try again,” their game gets better every day. By Friday, they’ve created a finished, playable game straight from their imagination.
Note: Got an older camper who wants the Grades 3-5 week? They’re welcome to join!
What Campers Will Do
Create an original tabletop game concept, theme, and rule system
Design custom game art and 3D printed components using Canva and Tinkercad
Build tabletop prototypes and level them up through playtesting and iteration
They’ll Leave With
A game designer’s toolkit: prototyping, balancing, iteration, and playtesting
Custom components they created and 3D-printed
Something they’re excited to bring home, play, and share with others
Repeat-friendly: Every run of this camp means a brand-new game: different themes, mechanics, and player experiences to design and test.
