The Minecraft Movie vibe in a summer break camp

Arriving in cinemas in spring 2025, the Minecraft Movie is an American-Swedish family adventure film starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black. It captures the spirit of the legendary and hugely popular game—even though, contrary to expectations, the Minecraft Movie is not animated but live-action.

The story of the Minecraft Movie in a nutshell

An '80s video game nerd (Jason Momoa), a guy running a mobile petting zoo, and a young woman with her little brother fall through a mysterious portal into an exciting, unusual world built of blocks. To get home, they must figure out the solution—with the help of Steve, a seasoned master builder (played by Jack Black) living in the block world.

During their journey, the heroes discover hidden superpowers within themselves and realize that the key to the solution lies in them.

Minecraft in a nutshell

Let’s start at the beginning. Minecraft is an open-world video game originally developed by Swedish programmer Markus Alexej Persson, better known as “Notch.” He founded Mojang Studios, which was acquired by Microsoft in 2014.

The game’s name reflects its unique gameplay features. “Mine” refers to mining, and “craft” to building or crafting—not just tools and materials but whole virtual worlds that players shape by gathering and placing blocks. Players gather resources to build their virtual worlds. This popular game has transformed the entire video game industry. Players can design and build various structures within the game, enhancing their creativity and problem-solving skills.

Minecraft Camp: Is it just screen time for kids?

The keyword is intentionality. Minecraft, when used consciously, enhances creativity and digital literacy.

In Minecraft camps, kids gain practical digital skills they can use at home, make friends with fellow gamers, and join vibrant outdoor group activities. At the best camps, kids don’t just play—they code in Minecraft! This helps them develop analytical thinking, programming knowledge, and design skills through play, enhancing their problem solving skills through coding and game design activities. Structured activities in these camps ensure that students learn critical thinking and creativity in a collaborative atmosphere.

Children learn to code within the Minecraft environment, gaining exposure to various coding languages and concepts through engaging gameplay.

In the Minecraft Movie Camp, children aged 7–14 discover that Minecraft isn’t just for playing—it’s a tool for content creation. Over 5 days, they create shareable videos and gain valuable knowledge in editing techniques, sound effects, and more. Key skills developed during the camp include:

  • Basic Minecraft coding

  • Video cutting, editing, subtitling, and sound effects using WeVideo

Why is a Minecraft camp a truly special experience?

A Minecraft camp is more than just screen time—it’s a real youth camp where each camper “accidentally” learns while having fun.

Safe camp environments, well-planned programs, and friendly, kid-savvy instructors ensure that children gain real summer experiences, new skills, and new friends. These camps also provide support and information to families to ensure a positive experience for everyone involved.

Logiscool Minecraft camps combine indoor digital activities with outdoor play and team-building games—so kids enjoy their digital hobby without digital overload.

Choosing the right camp – What should parents look for?

When selecting the right youth camp, it’s important to find one with the proper infrastructure and criteria for children to attend. Key things to consider:

  • Experienced camp leaders, instructors, and animators who speak the kids’ language and know Minecraft well

  • Safety: secure, well-equipped locations using approved software

  • A balanced daily schedule: not just screens, but sports, movement, and social activities

Additionally, selecting the right course tailored to your child's interests and skill levels is crucial. Consider various formats, including online and on-site options, as well as personalized learning environments such as 1-on-1 or small group settings.
