Esports Strategy & Game Coding Camp for Kids in Frisco, TX
In this camp, ninjas will learn the basics of coding and game development early in the week, develop their own game and present it for judging as part of a design competition.
- CodeCombat
- Ozaria
In the camp
What they do
The projects they work through in the camp, one at a time.
Sky Mountain, in Ozaria
The opening levels, where the code they write is what moves their character. Day one is algorithms and getting unstuck.
A capstone project
Built across day two with loops, and finished before the competition starts.
Three AI League strategies
Build Tower, Command Allies and Time Your Attacks, each learned, coded and then tried against other ninjas.
Arena competition
Rounds of head-to-head in AI League Equinox. Compete, check in, change the code, compete again - the loop the whole week is built around.
What they leave with
By the end of camp
Taken from the camp's own curriculum, not written for this page.
- Showcased their coding prowess in a capstone competition within the enchanting world of Ozaria
- Coded their games, blending strategy and programming prowess
- Learned to craft a game that outsmarts opponents in the digital arena
After camp
Loved our camp? Keep building all year.
Create is our core coding program, where a ninja builds real games in JavaScript and works up through the belts. The first session is free, so they can try it before you decide.
Before you ask
Common questions
Is this just playing video games?
The game is the compiler. A ninja's character does what their code says and nothing else, so losing a round is a bug report and the next round is the fix.
Is it competitive in a way my child will find stressful?
The pattern all week is compete, check in, iterate. Losing a round is the normal middle of the process rather than the end of it, and everyone is rewriting between rounds.
What language do they write?
Ozaria and AI League take real typed code rather than blocks, which is part of why this camp suits a ninja who has already done some coding.
Do they need a CodeCombat account at home?
No. Accounts are set up here on the first morning and everything runs in the browser.
