Dear Parents,
The long wait will be over soon! Next week is the first week of our Strategy Games Camp with Coach James and Jasmine at our San Jose location at St. Leo the Great.

We will use a variety of games to teach these concepts,

Strategy Game Camp: Strategy Games camp is an innovative and fun way to teach children the logic and strategy of games in a way that incorporates many STEM concepts. We use a variety of games (board games, original games, puzzle and tile games etc.) to introduce the student to concepts in probability, game theory, pattern recognition, deductive reasoning and creative thinking that
leads to optimal decision making in games. Students should be at least 8 years old or have prior approval of the instructor. Coaches James Bethany and Wolfgang Behm will lead the camps, bringing their vast experience in Strategy Games teaching to make a unique and fun filled week! No Strategy Games camp is the same, as the coaches incorporate a variety of different games and the selection can vary from week to week. Please register fast as we only have 4 weeks of Strategy Games camp over the
summer.
