It was a landmark year for us at Play Your Game Collective, operators of Esports Camps

Top 3 Highlights:

1. Elite level instruction, education and personal development for hundreds of high schoolers in North America
2. Girls in Gaming at Riot Games & at Girls in Gaming at EA Sports
3. New Camp Partners

The biggest highlight has been validation by the community. Our vision entering the year of creating more opportunities for aspiring gamers to develop as esports athletes, make great social connections and learn more about the opportunities in gaming was met with enthusiasm by the community beyond our expectations.

Takeaways:

1. We need more of everything — the youth gaming nation is growing and is passionate about knowledge and improvement
2. Girls don’t need their own space but in the right format it can help
3. Feedback is REALLY helpful
4. Continue to be authentic in the approach and execution

2020 Goals:

1. Provide more opportunities that enrich youth esports and gaming development
2. Work with the best people & organizations
3. Continue to improve the newsletter with better content and more contributors
4. Get more responses to our camps & events like this: “Our son William absolutely loved it and gained more confidence with his gaming during this week of camp. He really enjoyed spending time with people who had the same level of interest that he has for eSports. It also opened his and our eyes to what is involved in playing and/or training for eSports. As parents, what we like is that we’ve learned there is a structure that we can build into his day-to-day schedule so that he can pursue his interest in eSports and still maintain other interests and life responsibilities as well.”
5. Have fun and make an impact!
6. (49ers Super Bowl Champions + figure out TikTok)

Have a safe and happy NYE and we’ll see you in the next decade.
