This summer, Camp Localhost is offering in-person summer camps to gamers across the country.  These one-week camps are run out of our Localhost gaming centers and for gamers ages 9-17. Each day campers take part in off-screen and on-screen activities focusing on skills such as team building, communication, leadership, critical thinking, and healthy gaming habits. Campers will have access to age appropriate games such as Rocket League, Fortnite, Super Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, VALORANT, Overwatch, sports games like FIFA and NBA2K, and more!

Campers learn valuable life skills through video games, as each day is full of on-screen and off-screen activities designed to challenge campers to develop their critical thinking, communication, and teamwork abilities.  Whether your camper is a hard-core or more casual gamer, our camps are committed to helping your child have a safe, fun, and social summer!

Each day campers take part in off-screen and on-screen activities focusing on skills such as team building, communication, leadership, and critical thinking.

Off-screen activities include indoor games and puzzles designed to get campers moving around in a supervised, socially-distanced environment.

Everyone at camp is there to have fun and learn in a safe environment. There will be mini-competitions and tournaments, but winning ranked matches is not the sole focus.

Each camper is assigned their own gaming station that is between 3-6ft from the nearest child.  Off-screen activities are completed using the same 3ft minimum requirement.  In addition, camp staff actively work to make sure campers do not break social distancing guidelines during free play and off-screen activities.
