3D CAMP

Each 3D camp week is designed to introduce students to the same tools large companies use to create big budget games.

Students manipulate and build interactivity for objects and environments while exploring an advanced 3D game engine, Unreal Engine 4, a pro tool used to create some of the world’s hottest games.

At least one of the staff always helped or had helpful information.  All of them were awesome to have at the camp.  Really made the camp.

The leaders of the camp were very nice and fun to talk to and clearly have a passion for games.

When I first arrived, I knew nothing – now I feel like I can make a game.

[My Daughter’s] experience in the camp was FANTASTIC!  To be honest, we weren’t sure if we were getting her in over her head or not, but she came home every evening with positive commentary and rolled out of bed early each morning with no complaints.
