Why an esports camp? Choosing a career that allows you to live in society has always been a problem for young people, and who has not had doubts about it? It is a decision for life and your future. Your social status and even your happiness also depend on it.
There is no doubt that technology and video games have been gaining strength among children and young people (and even adults) in recent years. Now it is increasingly important for their social circle to have a good performance in these aspects, I see it every day in the group of friends of my seven-year-old son.
That is why large video game companies or world-renowned brands have seen in this niche a great opportunity for growth. Not only with esports tournaments but also with the education you can have by attending a boot camp, so let’s learn a little more about this.
Are Camps a Real Educational Option?
According to Spire Academy, “175 higher educational institutions are members of the National Association of Collegiate Esports and offer varsity esports programs that include partial or full esports scholarships, coaching, and departmental support. At least 314 schools are active in TESPA”. So, this is a great career opportunity, and it is real, some parents may still be skeptical but we must have an open mind to new opportunities and above all to the abilities of our children.
What Is An Esports Camp?
A camp is a way for students to increase their gaming skills, not only in the game itself but also in teamwork, new techniques, and even how to have fun when playing. There are different camps available for all audiences, from summer camps to online training, with varied prices and approaches that allow many people especially children to access them.
