Youth Esports Camp

It’s easy! Parents register their kids for one, two, three or all four days. Cost is $25 a day and pizza lunch is included. Simply drop off kids at The Cleary Commons, located just inside Cleary’s campus, at 3750 Cleary Drive in Howell (off  rand River near Latson). Plenty of staff will be on hand to supervise and help kids enjoy playing their favorite video games available on PC (or across platform games). Make sure kids bring their own controller if they traditionally play on console.

Space is limited to the first 12 students, so parents are encouraged to sign up their kids quickly by visiting https://clearycougars.com/camps/camps-registration?id=u3mtwfkouv6cd0s1 or calling 517.586.3018.

Cleary is one of only a few universities in eastern Michigan that offers Esports, a new, rapidly growing competitive sport among students across the country. Jarod Ericksen, Cleary’s Esports Varsity coach, was hired in early 2021 to launch the program at the university. He will be at the Esports camp to share his knowledge and expertise with young Esports enthusiasts.

Cleary’s Esports arena is outfitted with 18 state-of-the-art gaming stations and plans to add six more this fall. The arena also is equipped with custom signage, chairs, mouse pads and broadcast equipment.
