Mountain League Gaming Camp: A video game camp (Ages 10 – 15)
- June 14th – June 20th
- June 21st – June 27th
Video Games at Camp?!
Today we find it more and more difficult to reduce screen time and get kids to interact with nature and each other. The goal of Mountain League Gaming camp is to balance “screen time” with “tree time” by providing a partial day of social gaming mixed with traditional camp activities.
During this camp, participants will have coached gaming time with up to 27 of their friends for up to two hours. Our gaming set-up will allow campers to play as a big group or in smaller groups on various platforms and popular games (check out our partner at E5ME ).
Other activities include: Archery, Swimming, Climbing, Crafts, Nature Programs, Target Sports and more! Please note that Video Games are not available as a program outside of this specialty camp.
Adventure Trips
Teen Adventure Trips are one week in duration. Some portions of these trips are spent bonding and preparing at camp before heading out for a great adventure.
Spend a week making new friends, learning new skills, traveling and camping out under the stars.
