Programming in Minecraft Camp
But what if you could start learning how to change what you are doing, not just playing with what the game comes with? In the Programming in Minecraft Camp we will be using software to start learning how to modify the gaming environment. Camp leaders also introduce other programming languages and campers have time to code outside of the Minecraft environment as well.
