Modding in Minecraft - In Person Summer Camp

Why just play Minecraft when you can hack it and rewrite the rules?

In this jaw-dropping, code-fueled camp experience, your child will learn to create custom mods that do the impossible. Think teleporting swords, mobs that launch ender dragons, and blocks with wild, hilarious effects. With a unique visual modding system that makes coding concepts accessible and fun, campers will learn real programming logic and computational thinking. All while transforming Minecraft into their very own universe.

Whether your child is brand new to coding or already obsessed with modding, this course delivers the tools, guidance, and challenges to build original, game-changing content they’ll be proud to show off.

Students will:

• 💻 Learn core programming concepts through mod creation

• 🧠 Explore computational thinking in a highly motivating framework

• 🪄 Build custom weapons, mobs, items, and even worlds with their own rules

• 🧱 Use an easy-to-learn drag-and-drop modding tool (no typing required for younger campers!)

• 🧳 Bring home their mod files and instructions to keep coding at home
