Gnome Games is your families learn to play headquarters, and short summer camps are perfect to learn to play the games you and your family wants to play. Each of these 2 or 3 day mini-summer camps teach the basics of the games being presented. They are full inclusive camps with all materials, cards, dice, and other game supplies needed to learn to play included in the fees.
We limit attendance to each summer camp to allow us to provide the campers with the best possible experience. Each Gnome Games location has a separate schedule. Please make sure you sign up for the correct Gnome Games Summer Camp Location
Don’t see a game you or your family really wants to learn to play? Send us an email at outreach@gnomegames.com and we’ll see if we can get it on the schedule for a mini session or Saturday Learn to Play.
