Minecraft Builders Club online

Clubs for both Minecraft Pocket / Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Java Edition

Description

Minecraft Builders Club Online is the closest thing to attending our award winning Minecraft camps with the benefit of not needing to comb your hair. Social Minecraft building from home with new friends in our moderated servers teaches you to work as a team, develop good digital citizenry skills, 3D design and logic skills.

In our 8 to 14 year olds program meet online in the Minecraft JAVA edition on our MODDED server, In this Minecraft Builders Club, we meet up in the PC and Mac version of Minecraft to build and extend our custom world. Join us for a week in this great virtual sandbox where you can build anything! Learn to build with redstone, Minecraft machine building. We will also get to experiment with some mods that add features and change the game. Interact and work together with other students on the server. Our Minecraft camp differs from many in that your children are on the same server as their classmates and instructor. They are not just watching their instructor on a video stream while playing in a single player world like in some other camps. We explore massive star wars builds, and take on gigantic maze and build challenges.

Bonus month long server access

Also, enjoy access to one of our online servers for the month at no extra cost to continue building with friends. Server access is included with club membership through workshop application.

Parents: While your child thinks they’re playing, we’re secretly using the game to teach technology, design, problem solving, and presentation skills (insert evil laugh here). Check out this Ted Talk to learn why modern gaming isn’t a waste of time. CLICK HERE to open in a new window.
