Minecraft New Year, New World!

Start the Holiday season with us on a new world Minecraft adventure! In this four-day camp we will work together to build a themed game, gather resources, overcome challenges, and prepare for the ultimate goal—defeating the Ender Dragon. Along the way, we will develop teamwork, problem-solving, and building skills while making new friends and creating unforgettable memories. Join us! Children will have access from home after camp is over until school resumes in the New Year.

One-on-one Tutoring: Intro to the
MCKids Community

Ages 6+ yrs

ALL LEVELS

The MCKids Academy team can provide one-on-one play-based learning opportunities for your child. We can assist you with your learning goals and can provide weekly reports to you and/or your school. In Minecraft we focus on social-emotional skills and interest-based learning through play. Emibelle who was diagnosed with Autism at age 9 (she's now 23 years old!) continues to be an avid Minecrafter and can support your child on our game. Minecraft became our family's respite and a learning playground for us many years ago. Let us help you now with your child who has an interest in, and is showing her own dedication to play and learning through our game.

REGISTRATION is ongoing and based on our weekly, schedule availability. Also see Netherite Subscription Tier for those w/o funding supports.

Does your child have minimal experience playing in a group setting? Are you worried about the influences that play on public servers pose? Is your child showing an interest in building and learning about how to modify their game or would like to learn how to create their own game using Redstone and command block science? We 'play' with all of the above and more at MCKids Academy.

     Anna 'Momibelle' Belluz has used online gaming to connect with her students for over 12 years. Trained in play-therapy concepts, and former creative director, Anna is mom to Emiliana 'Emibelle' Belluz now support instructor (age 20 and the reason we play Minecraft!). Together we incorporate a host of established learning plans with your children. We use a combination of aligned curricular subjects that can include Sciences, Math, Programming, Literacy and the Arts to connect and engage your child. A focus throughout our sessions together include self-management/regulation prompts, digital literacy and netiquette, collaboration and social-emotional learning skills on our private,  Momibelle -monitored custom built, Minecraft servers.

What other's are saying:

“Our son joined MCKids with a love for the game and came away with new computing skills, friends, and more than a few new tricks. Anna has put together a wonderful, interactive program blending the real and imaginary worlds our kids traverse.” Bonnie M.

 

“Our son came to MCKids with enthusiasm, some nervousness, and no computer skills. Thanks to the week at camp with Momibelle our son was able to ‘get it’ and participate alongside all the other kids who had been playing Minecraft for 3,6,12 months or more. It was a great success for our son. Wyatt left totally turned on.” Jacquie S.

During the years that Momibelle homeschooled Emibelle, we discovered that in an educator -guided gaming environment, there were endless opportunities for learning through Minecraft. Most if not all curricular subjects can be incorporated while we play, with team-based building and exploration activities that encourage social-emotional growth, problem-solving and positive/supportive play practices. 21st century skills include critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration, too! Our camps and online classes are an awesome educational enhancement for kids who already love the game. In addition to guiding your child through the technical aspects of play and socially acceptable behaviors, we provide planned opportunities that help reinforce past learning and encourages inquiry based learning and self-regulation practice all in the open-ended virtual sand-box playground, Minecraft!
