The Camp Program
5 days of deep immersion into Game Design: we ideate, prototype, test, and play.

From Idea to Board Game
-
Result-Oriented Experience
A child follows the path from a blank sheet to a finished product in their hands. This teaches them to overcome obstacles, fix mistakes, and finish what they start. -
Project Thinking
We teach them to see the system: how to design rules, balance character powers, and anticipate other players' moves. -
Creative Expression
We provide the tools to bring any idea to life. Your child chooses the setting, the characters, and the visual style of their game. -
Real-World Socializing
By alternating intense project work with exciting group games, children naturally forget about their phones.

Cashflow
The children's task is to create sources of passive income that will fully cover their expenses. Throughout the game, we teach them financial literacy: how to allocate a budget, plan several steps ahead, and recognize marketing tricks.
By the end of the session, children receive cash certificates used to "buy" real stocks in the host’s portfolio. They then wait for the best market moment to sell and see real-life profit.
Benefits:
- Developing financial literacy
