I would highly recommend KGM, the camps were professionally run, engaging, clear and fun!
I would highly recommend KGM, Our Kiddo LOVED the March Break Camps iPad Video Game Creation & PC Video Game Creation.
The fun of creating their own games online and showing them off to friends and family was a much needed fun break from fun School, but we loved that they were still learning skills in technology while having fun!
