US Sports Camps, America’s largest sports camp provider and the competitive gaming-focused camp experience, Esports Camps, have received the STEM.org Accreditation™ trustmark.
STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics— in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications.
“US Sports Camps’ inherent role in the educational ecosystem(both direct & indirect) has placed it in the unique, but challenging position of leading others by example, while striving for continued improvement of its program in the ever-changing, highly competitive 21st century global economy” said Andrew Raupp, Founder and Executive Director of STEM.org.
"We are extremely excited to be awarded the STEM.org Accreditation,” says Kye Browning, Director of Esports of US Sports Camps. “We feel that this accreditation gives a sense of validity to our esports camp experiences as our curriculum focuses on developing mechanical skills in-game and soft skills, like communication, leadership and teamwork, out-of-game.”

"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."
"I had a super time at the Esports Camp! Lovely to meet so many people IRL, and geek out with our next generation of leaders and changers in the space."
"The gaming was great because I had people to play with and I got to try new things. Our coach(Sidney) was nice and a good coach and got along with everyone and the overnight stay part was ok"
"Apparently his coach helped him with a mistake ritual. I am so thankful as this will help the screaming decrease. Ha! He improved high ground re-takes, game sense and side jumps and I have no idea what any of that means. So thank you!"
"I really improved on my team communication skills. This was my first real competitive experience, and I think it was a lot of fun, and very valuable. I really enjoyed working as a team, and cooperating with others to reach our goal."
"My takeaway from this camp was how health and other activities play a role into video games. I also loved learning from the Cavs coach and what his daily routine is like."
"I learned how to work with my overwatch team much better than I could have without camp."
"This was awesome everybody was very nice and they helped me understand the game better"
"Rambo was very knowledgeable about things you can do outside of the game like stretches and your mindset, not just in the game. My overall gameplay became better because of that."
