Barracudas Activity Day Camps - Streatham and Clapham — Video Game Design

My son, who is 12 and has a creative streak, attended the Video Game Design camp at Barracudas in Streatham last week. He loved the chance to design his own game, and I was impressed by how engaged the staff were, particularly Sam, who guided the kids through the process. They worked in small groups, which allowed for more hands-on attention. One downside was the long lines we encountered during drop-off and pick-up; it felt a bit chaotic at times. However, my son made a new friend while collaborating on a team project, which he was thrilled about. Overall, it was a solid experience, and I would recommend it for kids who have an interest in gaming and creativity.

My son attended the Barracudas Activity Day Camp in Streatham last week for the Video Game Design program, and overall, it was a solid experience. He’s 9 and loves gaming, so he was excited to create his own game. The instructor, Mike, was really engaging and kept the kids focused while letting them explore their creative ideas. I appreciated how small the group was, which allowed for more individual attention. However, there was a bit of chaos during pickup; we faced long lines as parents waited to retrieve their kids. Despite this, my son came home thrilled about his project—he designed a platformer game and even mentioned he made a friend who shares his interests. I think the camp could be a great fit for creative kids looking to dive into game design, but just be prepared for a bit of waiting during pickup.
