The UCI Esports League of Legends Bootcamp is a summer program for high-level League of Legends players that have aspirations to play at the collegiate or professional level. The camp will be led by UCI’s scholarship League of Legends team and coaching staff. Campers will receive strategic coaching and learn about team play, communication, VOD review and how to take their game to the next level. Additionally, campers will learn about UCI, the Esports program, and collegiate and professional esports.
Our target audience is high school students currently in their junior or senior years of high school, but we encourage everyone who is interested in attending this camp to apply, as we may make a few exceptions based on other circumstances and qualifications.
The list of staff, guests, and the schedule is subject to change in the weeks leading up to the camps. This is still a work in progress as we continue to refine our curriculum to make sure that our camps are as enjoyable and educational as they can be while still accommodating our staff and all campers.
The current schedule and staff profiles are from our 2018 camp plans to be used as reference! We will announce new details as soon as they are ready for Summer 2019.
