Game Camp Nation has been a great addition to our children's summer education enrichment. Our oldest was the first to attend and has been attending since middle school through high school. He enjoyed the program so much that he asked us to extend the initial 1-week camp to 2 weeks and add the extended day. It was no surprise that he is now majoring in Computer Science and in his graduate year at one of the country's finest technology Institutes and doing fantastic. Our youngest also started in the summer program and enjoyed it, she tries to recruit her friends every year asking me to get the information mailed so she can hand it to her friends before the summer begins. She selects the different programs she wants and tells me she is a gamer. I was looking for a computer-based camp for our two children to be comfortable with programming and learn new concepts. The program has numerous locations. The counselors are attentive and ensure the safety of our children. My husband and I have watched both our children's enjoyment each year in the Game Camp Nation summer program and in their increased computer skills. This carries over into school computer classes. When the email for registration arrives they go through it and pick from the many programs the camp offers. Game Camp Nation has been a part of our lives for over 7 years and we have not been disappointed. We tell friends and family about this camp all the time. I was traveling for business and was on the shuttle going home and started talking with a grandmother who was visiting her grandchildren in PA. We started talking about summer programs and I mentioned Game Camp Nation. She started asking me for more information, I gave her the website. She planned on forwarding the information to her daughter. read more

By far the best part of my summer. I've been part of the program since I was 11, and I fell in love with it immediately. The staff is friendly, great with kids of all ages, and they work hard to make sure every camper succeeds. I've never felt more at home while doing an overnight stay, and the accommodations are amazing! Hotel breakfast never tasted so good. I had tons of fun playing games with the other campers, both virtual and real. The low tech rec portion of the day is tons of fun: swimming basketball, Magic the gathering, card games, and more! Not to mention all the fast friends I've made here. I was openly accepted and immediately felt part of a group from day 1. I still talk with my friends from camp! The programming skills I learned here lasted me a lifetime, and helped me get into college. I gained a passion and appreciation for coding that I never would have had without this camp. If you're on the fence about going to Game Camp, teeter over to where the grass is greener and join in on the fun. Game Camp is a worthy investment in your child's future, and they will definitely thank you for it. read more

Our son attended Game Camp Nation for five years--two summers of day camp and then three overnight, which he loved even more. In his fourth and fifth years, he started attending two weeks in Philadelphia before the two weeks at our local New Jersey location. Game Camp Nation has given our son an opportunity to grow in an environment where he feels comfortable being himself and doing what he loves. He made lasting friendships, was hosted for weekends at two friends' houses between camp sessions, and kept in touch with kids and counselors during the year. At home, he could often be found skyping or gaming with camp friends--sometimes even with Phil the director, who is a consummate professional: conscientious, approachable, responsive, and responsible. We knew our son was always in good hands at Game Camp Nation. We highly recommend Game Camp Nation. It was a great experience for our son. read more

An amazing experience, Gamecamp fuelled my passion for video games in an extremely positive way - along with being able to game with other people at the camp and make plenty of friends it also set me up for more than I ever could have imagined. This camp taught me something I didn't know could be taught, the amazing feeling of creating and sharing something with the world. They inspired me to start thinking and creating games on my own, which led me to start playing things like Dungeons and Dragons where I've made some of my strongest friends, and eventually led me to studying game design at college. And even though it's been a year since I've last been there, I still talk to and have plenty of friends from gamecamp. Some of my oldest and truest friends are from gamecamp, and I wouldn't trade the opportunity to go there for the world. read more

Our son has attended both the day camp and the overnight camp and has had an absolute blast every time. Game Camp is not only teaching important technology skills but social skills as well. The curriculum is designed so that the kids get a great balance of technical and non-technical exposure. Not only do they spend time focused on game and system design, they swim, play basketball, board games and socialize. They truly make learning STEM academics fun and exciting for everyone! Game Camp's instructors are dedicated and have a true passion for teaching. We would and have highly recommended the Game Camp experience to everyone! read more

Game Camp Nation is a wonderful camp where I spent many Summers and made many fond memories and learned many important skills. I always looked forward to going and spending time there. With a great staff of counselors that make the environment fun, supportive, and safe. They provide kids with breaks from technology everyday as well wether it's sports, trading card games, board games, swimming, ect. They have lots of activities to make sure the kids get the exercise and breaks they need. It is also a wonderful work environment. Helpful, kind, and friendly co-worker. The campers are excellent, nice, and fun to teach. read more

Both my son and daughter have been going to this camp for 4 years and look forward to going back as soon as they get home. They both go for multiply weeks and absolutely love thier time at camp. The staff is so awsome and so friendly. My nephew went to the NJ location last summer and can't walt to go back this summer. I would recommend this camp for any kid who likes technology and wants to learn while making friends and having fun! My son is old enough to participate in thier leadership program and he.. truly loves it and hopes to work with them one day! read more

If you think the kids that go to this camp learn "coding" think again. The vast majority of time is devoted to kids learning more and more detestable, violent and totally inappropriate video games. My son came back from there (10 years old) an addict for video games. It is a monstrous injustice to allow these people to take your children under their wing. One thing can be said with a high degree of accuracy: This camp will turn your child into a video game junkie. God help you trying to undo the damage. read more

At Game Camp Nation, I learned how much work & passion goes into making video games with the help of all kinds of people. The staff are kind & compassionate, daily activities are safe & scheduled, and the curriculum (from making 2D games in Construct to crafting 3D models & prints in Maya) allows campers to create & take home projects that are uniquely theirs. Game Camp Nation has built such a nice sense of community over the years, and I'm looking forward to seeing it grow even better. read more

I went to this camp when I was a kid and had a blast, the staff were nice, the classes were fun and easy to learn, and in between we got to play video games with each other (probably the best part according to most kids). It was an all around good time, my only real regret about it was that I didn't do any of the overnight weeks that pack in more fun and competition with the other campers. read more

My son attended several camp sessions with Game Camp Nation and it was his favorite summer activity EVER! The daily activities were fun as were the staff (who were also instructive). He was inspired to go on to college for computer game design. read more

Awesome camp that teaches beginner fundamentals in various game related areas such as art, programming, and game design. It's a great building block for any kid who might be interested in the industry. read more

My nephew lives in New Hampshire and just got back from the Burlington camp. He had such a great time! And can't wait to go back again next year. Thanks to the staff for doing such a great job. read more
