A little senior programs photo dump! 💕📸

From fun activities and creative projects to trips, good food, and even better company, we’ve been keeping busy at East!

We love seeing our seniors come together, try new things, make memories, and most importantly, have a good time. Here’s a little look at some of the fun we’ve been having lately!

✨ Prototype Complete! ✨

Our Game Development Mini Camp creators have officially reached a huge milestone... their first game prototypes are finished!

Over the past few days, these young designers have brainstormed ideas, built game boards, tested mechanics, solved problems, and transformed simple concepts into playable games. Every prototype is completely unique, and we're incredibly proud of the creativity, teamwork, and imagination they've poured into them.

Tomorrow is the moment they've been waiting for...

🕹️ Game Test Day!

The designers will put their games in the hands of real players, gather feedback, and discover what every great game creator learns: the first version is just the beginning of the adventure.

Congratulations to all of our mini developers. You've already accomplished something many people only dream about... creating a game from scratch!

A huge thank you to for providing the educational resources that helped bring these ideas to life. Their passion for making creativity, storytelling, and game design accessible gave our campers the tools they needed to dream big and build something entirely their own.
