Optimaaro Games is proud to offer its second year of summer camp programming for youth to learn about video game creation here in Barrie!

This one week program is

  • for kids aged 12-16
  • who enjoy reading and want to create an interactive story game
  • who enjoy video games and want to learn the basics of storytelling and coding
  • Instruction is in English and ASL (American Sign Language)
  • Maximum 10 students per class, with 2 instructors.

Hours of camp are 10am to 3:30pm,  Monday through Friday. Financial assistance is available thanks to our generous sponsors.

Dates:  July 25-29 // August 8-12 // August 22-26

Here’s what we’ll cover: 

  • Storytelling basics – what are the nouns of your story – people, place, things, conversations
  • What kind of games do you want to make? Are they simple or do they have lots of possible endings? Linear versus branching stories (like Choose Your Own Adventures!)
  • Researching media files – get photos and sound effects online
  • Learn basic programming skills
  • Putting all the pieces of the story together to test and share the story game on the web, Facebook and tablet
