Summer Camp Specifically For Game Lovers
This summer at Bitmask Games, we hope to offer a bit of something for everyone. From those with a bit of curiosity who want to check it out to those who have decided they are truly passionate about making games; for the artists and writers and musicians who want to adapt their skills to game design to the young programmers who love logic and code. These are the current summer camp offerings available at the studio. Note, each of these is a half day class, but they all have a logical full-day complement that makes for a good combo.
