Esports is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and it's been added to the majority of schools in the area as an official competitive sport!
With the help of Derrick McBride, Head Coach of Thomas More University’s Esports program and James Reichhold, owner of XP League Cincinnati we’ve put together an Esports camp to challenge young students through competitive gaming and to help them understand not just the games, but how the games and industry work. They will also learn about the opportunities that high schools and colleges offer in the Eports world.
Camp Overview
Get your gamer off the couch this summer and hone their gaming skills in our State of the Art Gaming Lab powered by Periphio Gaming PC’s! Camp will be instructed by Derrick McBride, the Head Esports Coach of the Thomas More University Esports Program and players from the team, to give your child a professional gaming experience! Camp will include game play and workshops that focus on team building, socialization, communication, leadership and STEM education. Camp is open to any students entering 5th - 12th grade in the Fall.
Workshops
Streaming Workshop - Learn what equipment and software you need to get started streaming from your own home!
Content Creation - Explore best practices and tips from experienced Twitch streamers and Social Media content creators. Learn everything from different ways to drive search algorithms, to specific software to aid in higher quality content.
