Esports Camps for Kids – A Dream Made Real!

May 23, 2022 By Nickida

Esports programs have been a firm fixture of college campuses for several years. However, until fairly recently, younger age groups have largely been neglected by esports initiatives. This has changed dramatically in recent years, with more esports camps springing up across the country. Looking to foster your youngster’s love of video games? Booking them a place at an esports camp is the way to go.

What Are Esports Camps?

If you’re a gaming averse parent, you probably think esports camps are all about screen time and little else. However, the average esports camp offers youngsters so much more than hours behind a controller or keyboard. Schedules vary depending on the camp, but almost all of them highlight the need for communication and teamwork. After all, the ultimate dream for an aspiring esports fan is to secure a spot on an S-Tier team roster.

One of the newest esports initiatives to emerge is Camp Localhost. This partnership between Nerd Street Gamers and US Sports Camps provides programmes for two different age groups. Unlike other schemes that focus squarely on video games, Camp Localhost combines the best of both worlds. You’ll find plenty of gaming practice on offer here, but not at the expense of physical activity and traditional outdoor pursuits.

How Much Do Esports Camps Cost?

This is a question every parent is going to want an answer to before sending their kids packing for the summer. The answer depends on a few factors. The cheapest esports camps cost as little as $100, although these are usually limited to weekend-long programs. The most expensive camps will set parents back upwards of $4,000 for a week-long stay.

Some of the most affordable options are offered by a company called Esports Camps. This organization offers courses for children aged between 13 and 19. Most camp programs last for four days, with prices starting at $300. However, more expensive camp programs can set you back $700.

If you’re looking for an esports camp that lasts for longer, you’ll find plenty of options offering stays of up to four weeks. However, these programs are considerably more expensive than budget-friendly alternatives. For example, a four week stay at Axis Replay can cost up to $2,200.

What Games Are Played at Esports Camps?

Expect all the main staples at esports camps. Popular games like Dota 2 and League of Legends are regular fixtures of most esports camp schedules. However, you’ll also find plenty of first-person shooters being played at camps catering to older age groups. Generally speaking, the games being served up are multiplayer titles that lend themselves to cooperative play and team-based training. Newer entries into the esports sphere like Super Smash Bros. and Street Fighter are not as widely represented, but this is likely to change as the action-packed racer and beat ’em favorite continue to grow in popularity at major esports tournaments.

If your kids dream of a career as a professional gamer or are racking up points anything close to what you’ll find at 1337Pro esports scores, an esports summer camp is something to consider.
