EH Summer Gaming Academy – Starts June 26th!

Did you know that games encourage literacy, social, critical thinking, and problem solving skills?

Join us for our new weekly Gaming Academy! All summer long you’ll be playing board and card games to explore different concepts and working towards creating your own board game! EH Summer Gaming Academy will be open to kids and teens ages 10 through 17.

Be a Mentor!

We are also looking for teens entering 10th, 11th, or 12th grade in the fall who would be interested in helping out as mentors! Our teen mentors will help our younger academy-goers (ages 10 and up) in understanding the rules and the mechanics of the different games we’ll be playing throughout the summer, as well as helping with set-up and clean up. You’ll earn community service hours every week you participate! Join us for a information session on June 13th at 6 PM for more information!
