In our Teen Gaming Tournaments, games rated “T” for Teen and "M" for Mature may be used and will be selected at the sole discretion of iD. Note: Tournaments DO NOT infringe on instructional time.

Games Rated E, T, and M: Our Responsibility
iD Tech Camps is an industry leader in offering various technology courses, including courses and activities revolving around gaming. Some of our gaming curriculum is based on the most commercially successful gaming titles and gaming engines. In order to offer the most cutting edge experience for our campers, we have adopted the policy of allowing the use of some select games rated "T" for Teen and “M” for Mature to be used as part of our curriculum in a supervised environment. While we take our corporate responsibility and iD family values very seriously, we cannot guarantee that younger students will avoid complete contact with these games. Please know that we make every effort to minimize exposure to any games not appropriate for these age groups
