Game Worlds
Private
Game Worlds is a video-game development summer camp in North Austin (at the ACC Highland Business Center) for ages 8-18, where week-long sessions run 8am-5pm and lunch is included. Working game developers guide campers through digital art, audio, programming, design, testing, and writing, with a new theme each week; every camper finishes the week with a playable game they pitch to a panel of professionals.

★★★★★Brian HardingOMG!! My son just finished a week camp, probably his 5th or 6th or more, and his mom and I could not be any more excited and proud of the game his team built this week!!! So much love to the owners and Sai the director who always keeps it so fun and entertaining!!!
★★★★★SeabassI taught here summer of 2023 as one of the counselors. It was probably one of the best jobs I have ever had. Lunches are free, the work is incredibly rewarding, and the kids are awesome to work with. The management keeps the machine well-oiled and gives you everything you need for your team to succeed. The best thing about this camp is that all of the kids actually WANT to be there and come ready to be challenged. The environment is awesome and very welcoming, highly recommend.
★★★★★Julia FaselOur kid has been going to Game Worlds for years and can’t wait until summer comes so they can go again!
★★★★★Rachel WilchesterWe had my son's 11th birthday party at Game Worlds and it was fantastic! The people who work there helped all the kids if they had questions about a game and they helped coordinate the kiddos when it was time to eat cake, they even decorated for the party! They really were amazing, I highly recommended Game Worlds!!
★★★★★RachelDefinitely one of the best camps I ever went to. Beyond just what I learned in terms of programming and design (which was a considerable amount), I have some incredibly fond memories of the friends I made and the fun I had. Cannot recommend these fine folk enough, they have a true gift and passion for what they do here!
