About
Turn imagination into a Minecraft world of your own.
If your child loves Minecraft, this camp shows them how to go beyond playing the game and start creating inside it.
In Junior Minecraft, campers learn the foundations of Minecraft modding (short for "modifying") using an age-appropriate, block-based coding system that’s intuitive, visual, and fun. Students explore how Minecraft works behind the scenes as they customize characters, modify gear, and make meaningful changes to their worlds...all in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment.
Campers work inside curated Minecraft worlds designed specifically for learning. Through guided challenges and creative projects, they’re introduced to the core ideas of “modding” while building confidence, problem-solving skills, and a sense of ownership over what they create.
What students will do:
Learn the basics of block-based coding
Customize Minecraft worlds, characters, and items
Explore how games are built and modified
Follow structured challenges with room for creativity
Build confidence using technology as a creator, not just a player
This camp is ideal for younger Minecraft fans who are curious, creative, and ready to take their first steps into coding and game design—no prior experience required.
Important note: This camp requires a Minecraft Java Edition account, available at:

Junior Minecraft is often the first step in a longer STEM journey...and one of our most popular ways for kids to discover that learning can be just as fun as gaming.
