Gamer Changers For Ages 5-12.

The Adventure Begins This Summer Break
This summer, young explorers won’t just learn—they’ll level up. Game Changers 2026 is offered in two programs - one for our junior’s, 3 to 4 years old, and another for our school-age children, 5 to 12 years old.
Both age groups will experience an immersive, hands-on summer adventure where students become the heroes of their own learning journey. Set inside a creative, gaming-world environment, we will explore air, space, land, and water through exciting challenges, activities, and real-world adventures.
Young Explorers will:
• Create their own avatar and step into the role of a game character
• Complete missions, challenges, and events designed to spark curiosity
• Learn through hands-on exploration, teamwork, and problem-solving
• Participate in special activities and field trips (on-site, outdoor, or off-site)
