About the Camp
Turn your child’s favorite game into a world of creativity, coding, and problem-solving!
In the Minecraft Winter Quest, young adventurers will go beyond simply playing — they’ll code, build, and create their own interactive winter worlds inside Minecraft. Using the ComputerCraft mod and visual programming tools, children will learn the foundations of coding, algorithms, and logical thinking in a fun, game-based environment.
Each day brings new challenges — from building snow-covered villages and coding snow golems, to solving puzzles and creating custom winter adventures!
Camp Objectives

• Introduce the basics of programming and algorithmic thinking
• Transform Minecraft from a game into a learning and creation platform
• Develop logical reasoning and creative problem-solving
• Strengthen teamwork and communication through collaborative builds
• Encourage safe, respectful gameplay in shared worlds

During the Camp, Children Will:

• Explore the World of Minecraft — learn to gather and combine resources to craft unique winter-themed creations
• Learn Visual Programming — use the ComputerCraft mod to write simple code and automate in-game actions
• Understand Algorithms — discover how to break big challenges into smaller tasks and solve them step-by-step
• Think Logically & Creatively — apply coding concepts to build functional winter machines, puzzles, and mini-games
• Collaborate in Teams — share worlds, solve group challenges, and learn respectful in-game interaction
• Create Their Own Winter World — design a snowy adventure filled with their own coded creations

Learn to Code Through Play!
Is it possible to learn programming without writing endless lines of code?
At Impact Academies & Camps, it absolutely is!
This winter, we invite your child to embark on an exciting journey into the world of programming — through the magic of gaming! Using the engaging, multiplayer browser game CodeCombat, students will learn real coding skills while exploring fantasy lands, solving puzzles, and battling enemies. Each challenge is completed by writing actual code in JavaScript or Python, helping children understand programming concepts in a fun, interactive way.
What Awaits Your Child

• Introduction to JavaScript and Python

Students will get hands-on experience with two of the world’s most popular programming languages.

• Problem-Solving & Logical Thinking

Through challenges and puzzles, campers will strengthen their analytical and reasoning skills.

• Collaboration & Independence

Children will learn to work both individually and as part of a team to achieve shared goals.

• From Gamer to Creator

They’ll turn their passion for games into a productive learning experience — creating the code that drives the adventure!

Bring Graphics to Life!
Watching animation is fun — but creating it is even more exciting!
Where do you start? How is animation made, and what exactly is motion design?
Motion design is graphic design in motion — the art of “bringing images to life.”
From animated text and effects in games to visuals in YouTube videos, cartoons, and movies — all of these are created by motion designers.
As video becomes the most popular form of digital content, we’ve designed a course that combines the most relevant creative skills for Generation Z.
This camp is perfect for creative kids who want to learn how to make animations and bring their ideas and characters to life.
We’ll start from the basics — so anyone can join and explore the exciting world of motion design!
What Your Child Will Learn

• The basics of 2D frame-by-frame animation
• How to design characters for animation
• How to animate and bring characters to life
• How to use video editors for 2D and 3D animation
• How to create animated logos
• How to build 3D models and learn the fundamentals of stop-frame animation
• Key insights into the animation industry
• How to create a beginner motion design portfolio
