Manchester University offers esports summer camps

North Manchester, IN (05/12/2025) — Manchester University will host its second-annual esports summer camp this June, open to community youth.

Two camps, focused on Super Smash Bros., will be offered: a day camp for rising 3rd through 6th graders on June 14, and an overnight camp for rising 7th through 12th graders on June 13-15. Beginners are expected to join the day camp, while the overnight camp is targeted toward moderate to advanced players.

Campers will learn the basics of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, while also participating in team-building activities and outdoor play. All campers are required to bring their own controllers, and overnight campers must bring their own bedding.

The cost is $40 for the day camp, and $150 for the overnight camp. Meals and free T-shirts will be provided.

Register for the day camp here and the overnight camp here. Registration closes June 7.

Manchester University's thriving esports team has more than 100 members and eight Great Lakes Esports Conference championship wins. The University launched an esports management minor in 2022, making it one of the few schools in the U.S. to offer such a program.
