The first few days focus on programming basics and by late week the children are well on they’re way to creating their own unique game. At the end of camp each child is provided access to our custom download site. From this site they can download GameMaker LITE software, their games, our custom walk through guide and resource folder. Campers can continue to develop their game and create new ones as well. Finally they will receive t-shirts, trophies and a certificate with photo.
