We recommend that you take our Survival Club in Minecraft before taking this program to ensure that you have the best experience possible.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Our Modded Survival Club takes our popular format of vanilla Survival Club and introduces it to the exciting world of modded Minecraft. This is a socially focused program in which you’ll work with others to explore the complexities of various mods, participate in a community economy, and progress through ranks and achievements. Like all Connected Camps programs, this class offers a project-based, exploratory classroom environment that sits at the intersection of learning and playing. After all, kids learn the most when they're having fun!

You’ll play in a modded server that expands on the basics of Minecraft with new gameplay options. For example, you will have the ability to buy, sell, and trade items and land in a community-driven economy. There’s also a wide array of paths to take through the mods like creating a high tech factory or learning powerful magic. 

With a strong focus on community building, you’ll play with other gamers like yourself to help each other survive and achieve personal and shared goals. As you level up and unlock new levels of gameplay, you and your friends will take on new challenges that will make sure you always have more goals to achieve. 

In this class, you will:

— Venture into a custom world filled with new resources, machines, and skills for you to master.
— Discover quests that can be tackled independently or as a group to advance into higher ranks and unlock more content.
— Explore new gameplay options like designing unique contraptions with Create+ and discovering new mobs and biomes.
— Experience the value of a supportive community and how to problem-solve and communicate effectively with each other.

Unlike camps and courses, this is a club that meets once a week with constant fun new things to do! You’ll play in a world filled with other students who love Minecraft and the thrill of an open-world adventure. Best of all, you’ll have the help of a counselor to guide you through this journey should you ever get stuck or need any tips.

PARENTS: 
This is a structured open-world, Minecraft experience for students to connect, work, and play in a supportive community. Your child will get to explore their creativity in world building with others as they strengthen their social-emotional and conflict resolution skills. 

In this class, we incorporate time for students to reflect and share ideas to bolster team cohesion and develop a positive self-reflective practice. As your child sets and meets their goals, they will develop their self-confidence through group feedback while enjoying a game they love. Please note that we will be asking for your camper's in-game username so that we can add them to our server's safelist.
