Affinity Esports

Our camps cover 30 hours of engaging activities that drive socialization, skill development, and passion. Our days balance the camp’s theme, education on healthy gaming habits, and regular screen breaks. While away from their screen, your child can be found taking walks, doing quick exercise drills, pausing for regular hydration, eating lunch outside, completing team building activities, or playing tabletop games. During the week, your kids will spend roughly half of their time away from the screen, being socially engaged, and fusing their passion for the digital world into peer-to-peer interactions, critical skill development, and new perspectives. Our camps are made possible and enhanced through the support of industry experts and our amazing partners at Post University’s Esports Department.

Regional YMCA

Give Them a Summer Where They Truly Belong.
Remember those childhood summers where you met your first best friend? The kind of friend you shared laughs with over popsicles and teamed up with for the big camp game?
At the Regional YMCA, we aren’t just a daycare—we are The Find Your Best Friend Place. We believe every child deserves a summer where they are nurtured, celebrated, and most importantly, where they feel they truly belong.
What’s in it for Your Family?
We know your summer schedule is a balancing act. That’s why we’ve designed our camps to give your child the adventure they crave and you the peace of mind you need:
  • Confidence for Them: Whether it’s conquering the inflatable water slide or mastering a STEAM project, your child will build the “I can do this!” spirit.
  • Friendships That Last: Our counselors focus on teamwork and kindness, helping kids turn “strangers” into “best friends” by lunchtime.
