UNCG Esports & Stem summer Camps

UNCG is hosting Esports & STEM Summer Camps for 8-14 year-olds as well as a one week of camp specifically designed for 13-17 year-olds!  This summer, seven one-week camps are being offered on campus in the beautiful UNCG Esports arena, a state-of-the-art 3,300 square feet facility, along with computer lab spaces on campus. 

Camps will be divided by age, with an 8-11 year-old group and an 11-14 year-old group each week. Eleven-year-olds can choose either group based on comfort level. And for the week of July 27th, UNCG will be offering the Unreal Engine Gaming Academy for the 13-17 year-old game designers of the future!

The Esports Arena includes a large number of gaming PCs, consoles, four large video walls, and eight large-screen video panels to facilitate shared experiences with areas for collaboration and academic instruction.

The summer camp content will include instruction from the nationally renowned gaming education company Black Rocket. Campers will have the opportunity to focus on two major subjects each week – one in the morning and one in the afternoon – and of course have plenty of time allotted for gameplay and friendly competitions.

Check out the registration page to explore the weekly camp content and to register today!

After signing up your child for our camp, you will receive an email prior to your camper’s start date to confirm your contact information, designated pick-up, opt out, and any medical needs we need to be aware of. The week prior to the start of your child’s camp session, you will receive a full camp agenda, classroom locations, and maps to classrooms and parking.

Because we will typically not be in the office, the best way to contact us is by emailing our Program Coordinator at info@uncgcamps.com. If you are having difficulty getting in contact via email, you use live chat uncgcamps.com and they will be happy to relay messages to our camp.

Between 12:00pm – 1:00pm, campers will eat with the counselors in our Food Court on-campus. Students are welcome to bring their own lunch or bring money for the Food Court. Due to allergies, we ask campers to avoid bringing nut products. We are unable to refrigerate any lunches, so please pack them in a lunchbox with an ice pack if necessary. To see a list of what is open at the Food Court and a menu, please check out Spartan Dining. The Food Court accepts cash and card. If the weather is nice, we may sometimes eat outside.

Comfortable clothing and shoes
Refillable water bottle
Snacks, lunch, and/or cash (if camper is buying food at our Food Court). Please avoid bringing nut products.
Rain jacket (depending on daily forecast)
We recommend campers do not bring valuables to camp. If a camper chooses to bring valuables to camp (e.g. a mobile device), UNCG is not responsible for it.  All of our camp counselors will have a mobile phone and contact information for parents/guardians if the camper needs to get in touch with their family. If a camper does bring a mobile phone, we ask campers to not be on their device during instructional time.
Campers do NOT need to bring their own laptop or computer to camp. Computers will be available for them to use in our computer lab and Esports arena.
