Why just play video games when you could learn how to make them?

During this half-day camp, campers will learn about character and story design, 2D graphics, conditional branches, and many other skills necessary for them to make their own games with RPG Maker. Suitable for beginners but capable of making detailed games, this software encourages unlimited creativity. By then end of the week campers will have completely built their own playable RPG game. No prior programming or coding experience is required.

Interested in having your camper stay for the full day?

Check out our morning session of Photo Editing & Design! If your camper stays for the full day, we will be providing supervision from 12pm-1pm between the end time and start time of the two camps. During this time it is recommended that your camper bring a packed lunch to eat. We'll also be playing videos during the break or depending on the number of campers (and on the weather) we'll be going outside so they can eat their lunch while getting some fresh air.

FAQs

Where is the camp located?

The tech camps are held on the campus of Daemen College on Main Street in Amherst, NY. Facilities include the Business Building which houses several computer labs on campus.

How many children in each camp?

Just like a regular class, we ensure a good adult-to-child ratio. Depending on age, this ranges from 1:8 to 1:10, so most camps are maxed out at 20 children. Daemen Tech Camps reserves the right to cancel a camp should enrollment fall below five (5) children.

What is the refund policy?

Refunds will be given only as a result of injury or illness. The refund will be based upon a percent of the daily loss, less a $25 non-refundable fee. A $25 processing fee will also be charged for any cancellation.
