UCI Esports is very excited to support Connected Camps! A non-profit organization, Connected Camps began in 2015 and is focused on fostering creativity, problem solving, collaboration, and interest-driven learning for kids who want to get into coding and game design.
Connected Camps is a series of online education programs for students ages eight and up who are interested in learning how to develop their own games, as well as how to improve their skills in popular esports titles.
As the premiere US collegiate esports program, we are very enthusiastic about lending our support to a program that encourages students to develop their learning ability alongside games and esports while also encouraging their special interests.
Connected Camps has also partnered with NASEF in order to provide virtual coaching support for up to 120 high school teams. NASEF is also UCI Esports’ high school outreach partner organization, so the relationship with Connected Camps means that young players at nearly any point in their education will be able to receive virtual coaching while developing their interest in game design.
Within the scope of esports, Connected Camps is offering two specialized programs directed towards young players who want to train and evolve their gameplay. With the support of UCI Esports, Connected Camps is offering online camps for four different popular esports titles:
Fortnite
Overwatch
League of Legends
Rocket League
Furthermore, Connected Camps is also offering an online Fortnite club program, an online Fortnite workshop, and two other esports workshops focused on drills that improve reaction time and lessons on analyzing professional and personal gameplay footage. During these week-long camps, players will learn how to strategize for different maps and take advantage of unique layouts, team composition and character counterplay, personal exercises for achieving in-game goals, the functions of particular roles, and how to learn new characters in order to fulfill multiple roles while also staying true to favored playstyles.
Connected Camps has also begun featuring 1:1 coaching support, where young players can practice popular esports with specialized coaches at their own pace. Players of all experience levels can improve their skills in a game they already play, learn healthy performance strategies, develop their teamwork, or even get started in a brand new game. Connected Camps is offering coaching for the following titles:
Fortnite
Overwatch
League of Legends
Rocket League
Apex Legends
Super Smash Bros.
UCI Esports is proud to be supporting Connected Camps in its endeavors to empower young students’ learning capabilities through esports!
