What is Esport?
Esports, short for electronic sports, is a form of high level competition using video games. Esports often takes the form of organized, multiplayer video game competitions, played individually or as teams. Not sure about the idea of a gaming-focused summer camp? It’s not just about screen time—esports is a fast-growing industry that offers a surprising number of benefits. While kids are having fun, they’re also building valuable life skills like teamwork, communication, critical thinking, and resilience—the same skills that employers look for in any career.
Whether your child dreams of becoming a pro gamer, a game designer, a software engineer, or even working in marketing or event management, the teamwork and strategic thinking they develop in esports can carry over into STEM fields, business, tech, and beyond. Think of this camp as a launchpad, not just for gaming, but for success in the digital world ahead. A camp like Adamas Esports help young gamers build these foundations in a structured, positive environment—where they can collaborate, compete, and grow.
