Today, esports are uniquely suited for fostering the critical skills necessary for navigating an interconnected world. Skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration and emotion management are just a few of the concepts players can obtain through our new esports programs.
We’re now offering a variety of esports related programs including, camps, workshops and 1:1 coaching.

Here are some of the concepts players can expect to learn over the course of our 5-day esports camps:
- Effective communication, improved teamwork, goal setting, strong interpersonal skills, and efficient problem solving.

Our esports camp curriculums are uniquely experiential. While kids engage with their favorite games, our esports coaches will guide them through warmups, reflections, journaling activities, setting goals, discussions and relevant challenges to help them find their strengths and overcome limitations.
1 on 1 Coaching: Our esports mentors help their students confront problems, make meaningful choices, and explore the consequences. Our 1 on 1 coaching offers a delicate balance of challenges and rewards that keep students interested and engaged. Our coaches will enable players to advance at their own pace, fail in a safe and supportive environment and acquire critical knowledge and understanding regardless of their skill level.
Often times mentors guide us to realize and understand concepts by asking the right questions and challenging our perspectives. Our mentors are experts at helping players think beyond the game and transfer those skills to real world experiences.
Here’s what one student had to say from their Connected Camps coaching experience:
“I learned many things from my Overwatch coaching sessions. For one, time management is crucial. I also learned the value of teamwork. You cannot just have one player separate from the rest of team diving in on his or her own and expecting the rest of team to follow up. And this leads to the main and one of the most important values in any game and in real life: Leadership. You need to have someone who can take the mantle of leader and lead the team, organize the team, etc. A strong leader ensures that everyone is cooperating. I am truly thankful for all the work the coaches do for us players.”
At Connected Camps we understand the unique power of using games to connect kids to deeper social-emotional development. We believe esports are a wonderful tool to teach empathy, emotion management, communication and more. We’re excited to share these new programs with you and explore the benefits of esports together!
