Toronto’s premiere Pokémon TCG Summer Camp! A mix of competitive lessons and fun. The campers will level up their competitive skills through lessons from some of the top players in Canada and also get the chance to engage in fun Pokémon related activities like cubing, retro formats, trivia, and more!
What to Expect
I have drawn from my years of competing and coaching to create a curriculum to help the attendees improve as competitive players. Over the course of the week the kids will work on multiple skills such as:
Deck Building & Selection
Sequencing
Prize Mapping
Reading Metagames
How to plan turns in advance
How to prepare for tournaments
Reading Opponents
How to Effectively Practice
+ Many More Skills!
The camp will also have fun activities for the kids such as trivia, cubing, retro Pokémon, and more! I’ve found that a mix of fun and competitive activities is best for keeping everyone engaged and enjoying camp!
