Mobile Phone Game Creation

Design games that run on a phone — idea to playable app.

Ages 10–14 · Mon–Fri, 9am–4pm · Beginners welcome

The games kids play most are on phones — so in this camp they learn to make them. Campers take a game from concept to a playable mobile experience, learning the design thinking and logic behind mobile games.

What campers will do

  • Turn a game idea into a design and a plan
  • Build a playable mobile game with a visual game-making tool
  • Touch controls, levels, scoring, and difficulty
  • Playtest on a device and iterate on feedback
  • Design principles that make mobile games fun and fair

🧰 Tools

Mobile game-creation platform (no-code / low-code)

🗓️ Format

Week-long day camp, Monday–Friday 9am–4pm — mornings to Create, afternoons to Play.

Campers finish with a mobile game they designed and built — and a real understanding of how the games on their phones are made.

Spots are limited by our low counselor-to-camper ratio.
