Camp Makerie / Makerie Afterschool
Private
Camp Makerie is a Gainesville day camp for "maker kids" ages 5-13 (with a teen track for 14-16) built around story-driven art, STEM, and invention projects. Each week campers immerse in an imaginative story world and engineer a team build, alongside activities such as arts and crafts, Lego builds, archery, NERF and laser tag, board games, and STEM play. It runs summer and school-break camps plus year-round classes.

★★★★★Rachel CarricoHarmony and the entire team at MBC have created a magical, supportive environment for kids of all stripes of neurodiversity and gender expression. My son had a wonderful time here. His imagination was ignited, he felt successful, made new friends, and begged to come back. Thank you all you do!
★★★★★Jenny VogelMy son loved Master Builder camp. They offered a variety of creative and engaging activities so there truly was something for every child's interests. It was easy for him to make friends while working on projects together. He still talks about it, years later, as his favorite summer camp experience. Update: We went back in summer 2022 for the Teen Camp and he still loves it.
★★★★★Fitness & Friends with Dr. Bob RuanoMy kids have been attending MBC for the past 6 or 7 years and love it! The counselors are kind and engaging and keep my kiddos physically and mentally active. The hours are great too with early drop off and late pick up if necessary!
★★★★★Sony WalserMy daughter has attended Master Builder Camp at least 2 weeks every summer for the last 4 years, not including some of the school holiday break weeks. She loved it! She always had lots to talk about when I picked her up and usually had something she wanted to show me before we left. They let kids be kids while maintaining control. The staff seems to really enjoy working with kids and they work very hard to try to meet the needs of all the different personalities that walk through their doors.
★★★★★Timothy MurthaWhat a wonderful camp experience for my daughters! It was fun, creative, and presented campers with a new team 'theme' every week. All of the counselors work hard to create a positive vibe for campers and they kept all of the campers safe over the course of a very challenging summer in 2020. So glad we found MBC and can't wait for summer!
