Why Virtual Camp

Virtual or online camp is a great option to have your kids engaged in a group activity with the convenience of an easy commute to their gaming computer or device. Our virtual camps bring kids from all over the United States, Canada and even Europe. In turn, this gives your kids the opportunity to safely interact and make friends with other kids through the Game Gym community.

Why Strategy Adventure Games

Campers have the choice of selecting from the games below to play during this week. During the registration process, campers select their 1st choice and 2nd choice games. Campers have the option of playing the same game all week or switching between multiple games.

Minecraft (Java Edition) is a wonderful tool that can be used to open up our kid’s minds and think outside the box. We will present different building projects that will emphasize and develop our camper’s creativity, teamwork, and communication skills.

Rocket League is one of the most fun and accessible games in the world. Our Rocket League camp is designed to help you get better and have a blast while doing it! Mechanics and game sense are important to Rocket League, and we will improve our camper's individual skills and ability to play as a team.

Super Smash Bros is a crossover fighting game where you face against your opponent to push, knock, and throw them off the map. To win, the player needs to balance creativity, critical thinking skills, and fast reflexes. As one of the most popular esports in the Nintendo franchise, Smash is great for players of all ages!

About Game Gym

  • Becoming more efficient at the game(s)
  • Strategies to win
  • Being a good teammate

  • Talking to real-life professionals about the gaming industry
