Who thrives here Ages 6–14

Lavner Game Design Camp at NYU sits in the upper-elementary to middle-school window where specialization starts to mean something. Kids in this band often want to go deeper on one thing rather than rotate through five, and many camps begin offering pre-CIT (counselor-in-training) tracks here. The right stem fit at this age depends on whether the child wants more autonomy or still wants the safety of a structured rhythm.
