Computer Camp

Networking with Minecraft

This camp is designed for kids ages 12 through high school.  Campers will work in small teams to help each other configure their computers for networking and build a team Minecraft server.

Campers will learn how to use their computer networking skills to connect to other team servers.  Campers will build team worlds and share them other teams.

Note:  All minecraft server access is controlled and limited by allowing only connections within our local camp.  Filtered internet access is granted to ONLY a few specific websites such as the Microsoft Minecraft website and installation instruction websites.  No other internet access will be granted during the camp.

No computer needed.  All computer resources will be provided during the camp.
