Atari Opens Enrollment for its 2024 Summer Camp Program
July 11 2024 - 1:17PM
Atari® — one of the world's most iconic consumer brands and
interactive entertainment producers — today announced open
enrollment for Atari Summer Camp, an eight week online celebration
of retro gaming and everything 1980s. Anyone can join during the
camp season by signing up at atari.com.
Partner events and virtual field trips will be announced over
the course of the four, two week sessions including special
activations with Codecademy, Coinbase, Nifty Island, Rollercoaster
Tycoon and more.
Participants will log into a personalized Atari Club page and
gain access to a Camp portal modeled after an Atari ST desktop that
is hosted by an AI camp director. Programming will take place in
Discord, social media, and several immersive partner platforms.
A mix of virtual and IRL (in-real-life) activities will be
revealed over the 8-week camp, including high-score competitions,
scavenger hunts, creative projects, trivia and special apparel and
accessory drops.
“The community response to last year’s Atari Summer Camp
inspired us to create a more robust experience this year,” said
Tyler Drewitz, Director of Atari Club. “Summer Camp is a great way
to celebrate Atari’s unique history with our community.”
The Atari Summer Camp is inspired by the Atari-operated computer
camps for aspiring programmers that ran in the 1980s. The camps
blended a comprehensive computer education and programming
curriculum with a more traditional camp experience including social
activities, sports, swimming, music and arts.
“We are excited to have so many partners participating in Atari
Summer Camp this year,” said Wade Rosen, Chairman and CEO of Atari.
“Summer Camp is a fun way for our growing family of brands and our
partners to engage with fans.”
