My 10yo went to his first Minecraft camp today and LOVED it. He is asking to go back again! I am really impressed with the encouragement given to “level up” to become coaches by helping other people out. Thanks for a great day Sean

My son is bouncing with excitement to get online and have others to play with. He loved the camp and loved the socialization possible with the camp server.

My 6yo had such a great time at the MineCraft camp- he hasn't stopped talking about it. He already wants to go back next holiday break. Thank you Sean, for being so helpful and accommodating.

My 6 & 7yr old girls attended today's camp in Bunbury and had a fabulous time. They told me they loved learning about different 'worlds' and how to use the keyboard (since we are mainly ipad users). Sean is extremely patient and can relate to the children well. We will definitely be attending more of Sean's workshops in the future. Highly recommended. A++++

My 8 year old boy attended Sean's MindBuzz camp yesterday at Perry Lakes under the tents. What a great idea of having the children enjoy Minecraft in the "outdoors"! He likes making new friends at every camp and as parents we are confident that he is having fun in a safe and educational environment. Thanks Sean.

Timeline of a Minecraft Camp
Arrive and settle in
The computers will be logged in on our accounts but if you have your own this is the time to log in – parents should stay for this!
Overview of the day
The day is split into 3 main sections/worlds. Tutorial challenge, Survival village Build, Creative theme build and some free time afterwards.
Team build shape challenge
Your tables are your teams. Move together through the map as a team. Build the shapes as a team, explore as a group.
Crafting recipes & Cyber Safety
Receive your workbook and craft up some food. Keep your identity a secret while online – you never know…
First break – Outside
Recess time outside to feed our bodies, get some air, and give our eyes a break. No devices please.
Commands and warps
How to navigate the Mind Buzz server and get back to our village anytime from anywhere.
Village build project
Our mission is to create, expand, and protect the village. We will claim land, create shops, pay NPCs to build and get ready to survive.
Protect the village
Where there are villagers there are also pillagers. We need to protect our friends from the hordes. Luckily we have been preparing!
Lunch break – Outside
Lunch time outside to feed our bodies, get some air, and give our eyes a break. No devices please.
Creative Plots Build
Time to switch mental gears and let our imaginations run wild in creative mode. Each day we negotiate a theme e.g. futuristic, medieval, etc.
FREE Time
Usually the last half hour is free choice. Some choose to go back to the village, sme carry on with their creative builds, others go to Skyblocks, One Block. Others all jump on a minigame together – you choose.
Parents come in & we wrap up
Before the end of the day students are instructed to show their parents/carers the village and creative builds. Come and quiz your kids on what they learnt!

Features of a Minecraft Camp
Inclusive
We welcome a broad range of kids. We get gifted and talented students working alongside special needs kids. Minecraft is a great equaliser.
7 to 14-Year-Olds
Most are 8-12, but resilient and capable, 6-year-olds are also welcome and do just fine. 14-year-old fans of Minecraft just love it.
Ongoing
After camp, students can access the gated/whitelisted server where they can continue their friendships and learnings online in safety.
Leadership
At camp, kids who naturally help others are rewarded with an exclusive rank of COACH. It’s highly coveted and respected.
Gated Server
We only let kids on our server who have been to a Minecraft Camp. After camp, your child will be playing only with fellow campers.
Bedrock & Java
We recently added support for Bedrock clients so they can join our Java server from home. Note that we use JAVA Minecraft on laptops in camp.
Experienced Instructors
Our camp leaders are experienced and passionate educators. We are a diverse bunch and what binds us together is our love of teaching.
Camper Workbook
Our 20+ page workbook is used throughout the day as a learning tool. Kids then take it home as a memory jogger.
Pre-coding
The many and varied server commands we learn and use in the day naturally lead into coding success due to their ‘If this, then that’ functions.
Earned Ranks
We strongly encourage helping behaviors in camps and on the server. Helping others is the path to ranking up and becoming a leader.
Peer Tutoring
Kids learn far more from each other than adults. A skill or strategy from a team member is learned effortlessly. Our groups are set up for this.
Values Based
Our values are EFFORT, EMPATHY, and GROWTH. Our camps are designed around these valuable principles.
Meet the Team
The people who make it happen. We champion kindness, curiosity and creativity.
