About the Camp

Theme: Challenge Yourself, Be Your Own Hero! 

At Game On 2026, we challenge children to discover the hero within themselves. The heroes we admire are courageous, resilient, creative, and confident. Through the camp’s activities, participants will have the opportunity to develop these very qualities by stepping outside their comfort zones and embracing new challenges.

Each day will focus on a different theme:

  • Challenge Your Comfort Zone
  • Challenge Your Feelings
  • Challenge Your Body
  • Challenge Your Mind
  • Challenge Your Creativity
  • Challenge Your Limits

Through games, challenges, team-building activities, and hands-on experiences, children will build confidence, develop new skills, and discover what they are truly capable of.

Each morning, participants will have the following themed clubs:

  • Board Games Club
  • English Club
  • Drama Club
  • Sports Club

Afternoons are dedicated to activities connected to the theme of the day, including team-building exercises, challenges, games, and interactive learning experiences.

In the evenings, we come together for fun, connection, and memorable experiences. Whether it's Quiz Night, Game On's Got Talent, or other special activities, each evening is an opportunity to build friendships, create lasting memories, and strengthen the Game On community.

Are you ready to accept the challenge?

Your adventure starts here! 🚀🌟

About


Game On Summer Camps Moldova is an educational project organized and implemented by GAME ON - EDUCATION. The first summer camp took place in 2016. 

Our goal is to broaden children's horizons through a personalized non-formal approach. We aim to improve their English language skills, and nurture their personal and social qualities through games and hands-on learning experiences.

We believe that the best education is through games. Game must go On!

The Game On Summer Camp Moldova project follows a 5-year cycle, corresponding to stages in education, that we prioritize. Over these five years, we provide support to campers as they undergo the transformative journey from early childhood to adolescence. This period is pivotal, as the values instilled and absorbed by the children influence their development. Our 7 core values - Family, Empowerment, Respect, Integrity, Creativity, Inclusion, and Trust - serve as guiding principles to shape each Game On member into a happier and better individual.
 

Each year of the program is dedicated to a specific theme, representing an educational stage:

Year 1 (Age 8-10): We focus on fostering strong connections and building a solid foundation among campers.
Year 2 (Age 9-11): Participants are offered the opportunity to explore an alternative approach to education. Daily activities revolve around traditional school subjects, presented in interactive and creative ways through games and hands-on learning experiences. By the end of the summer camp, they discover that learning can be enjoyable, emphasizing the importance of the approach.
Year 3 (Age 10-12): The focus shifts to developing personal skills, including self-confidence, self-awareness, problem solving, relationship building, teamwork, motivation, self-esteem, and many others.
Year 4 (Age 11-13): Campers are encouraged to explore global opportunities and learn from best practices worldwide.
Year 5 (Age 12-14): Building upon their global exposure, we delve into understanding the societal systems and each individual's role within them. Participants are empowered to create their own systems.
 

Our approach involves retaining previous participants while adding 20 new ones each year. Former participants assume leadership roles, aiding in the integration of newcomers. This model has fostered a strong community over the years, enabling us to assess the growth and development of participants, as well as the project's impact on their lives.
 

After the 5-year cycle, our participants have the opportunity to join our career orientation programme: Edu123 

Once our participants reach the age of 17, they are eligible to join the organizing team as volunteers for our summer camps.

In 2024, we launched a new five-year cycle, giving a new generation of children the opportunity to become part of the Game On community and benefit from the same transformative experience.

The year 2026 marks a special milestone for us as we celebrate 10 years since the very first Game On camp. It is an opportunity to celebrate the impact we have had on hundreds of children who have participated in the program, while also looking ahead with excitement to the years of adventure, growth, and development still to come. ✨
