Minecraft has soared to unbelievable heights as the video game of choice for kids. It has also received parent approval for it’s educational purposes. Now Connected Camps is using this popular game to help develop kids’ coding skills in a collaborative and safe online community moderated by counselors. During the Summer of Minecraft virtual camp kids ages 8-15 will learn Minecraft coding, architecture, game design, engineering and more in this unique camp model to develop their skills from beginner to advanced.
Connected Camps was started by three self proclaimed “girl geeks” on a mission to make coding and digital arts more accessible and fun for kids. In 2014 they held their first camp. It was a success! Last year they welcomed over 2000 campers and this year they’re back again with their week-long courses starting at $49.

Here’s what one parent had to say after her kids completed the Summer of Mindcraft Camp:
Summer of Minecraft was an engaging learning experience for my children. My daughter was excited to participate in the creative building challenges. She explored outside her safety zone and was impressed with her new creations. My son was intrigued with Redstone and loved working with the circuits. He also loved playing in the PvP challenges, and I appreciate the safe, kid-friendly, competitive arena. The mods stepped in wherever and whenever needed to encourage campers and to emphasize the importance of teamwork and the importance of a positive learning environment.
– Lisa Apollonio, Parent
