At Ignite Academy, we channel your child’s natural interests—like video games and the environment—into powerful learning opportunities. Designed for children ages 8–12, our specialized summer themes, Game Tycoons and Eco-Inventions, transform campers from passive consumers into active creators and innovators. We don’t just play games; we design businesses around them.
What Makes Our Themes Special? We use themes that kids love to teach the skills they need.
The Experience: A Two-Week Themed Sprint Our 2-week program allows for a deep dive into these exciting worlds.
A Typical Day: Creativity with a Purpose Every day is a blend of specialized project time and classic summer fun.
Outcomes for Your Child By anchoring complex skills in fun themes, children gain:
- Communication Mastery: Pitching their game or eco-product with passion and clarity.
- Critical Thinking: Solving design bugs or environmental hurdles.
- Applied Financial Literacy: Understanding costs and revenue within the context of a game store or a green business.
Afternoon Recreation: We balance the brainwork with outdoor sports and team challenges at Runnymede Presbyterian Church, ensuring campers stay active and social.
“Founder’s Time”: Teams collaborate on their specific projects—building cardboard arcades or sketching eco-friendly packaging.
Morning “Theme Labs”: High-energy workshops where campers might learn the math behind game scoring or the science behind sustainable materials.
