Game Modding Camp: Course Description
This year students in Game Modding l will mod the critically acclaimed Warcraft lll: The Frozen Throne! By popular demand, iD Tech Camps is now offering Game Modding at most of our U.S. locations. We are offering Game Modding l and Game Modding ll this season. In this summer camp course, iD "modders" will "upgrade" and redesign one of the biggest gaming titles in the industry. Many video game companies are actively promoting "modding" (modification of) existing video games—a colossal trend sweeping the industry. Industry leaders believe young gaming enthusiasts between ages 11 and 17 hold the key to creativity. We believe the same. Students in this summer computer camp will learn to add new levels, redesign or replace characters, and customize game play through interactive modding tools. Using Logitech® microphones, students will create their own customized sounds for their games.

How We Teach
iD Tech Camps students receive the highest caliber technology education any summer camp has to offer! Students in this summer camp for teens will be able to move along faster and more independently, or collaborate utilizing our customized lessons—while still receiving our gold standard 1-on-1 instruction (average 6 students per staff). Using the latest in hardware and software, our all-adult staff works hands-on with each student from project theory to completion (you won’t find counselors-in-training at iD). It’s time to unleash your internalDrive - Welcome to iD! Find out more

Repeating this course over several weeks?
Our curriculum in this game modding camp is designed so that students can return for multiple weeks, taking their skills to a whole new level. Our new curriculum is designed for beginning through advanced learners, allowing each student to move along at their own pace with customized lessons for a fun and appropriate challenge. It is not uncommon for students to stretch their skills in this course for 3, 4, and even 5 consecutive weeks. Below is an example of how your student’s skill level may increase if they take this course multiple weeks.

Trying several different courses?
Create a customized “package” allowing you to sample many different topics. Below are some suggested course sequences for students attending multiple weeks of computer camp. Feel free to customize your own package.

Students will also play BIG titles from Epic Games®, Activision®, Blizzard® Entertainment, Electronic Arts, Microsoft® GameStudios™ and more. 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
