The Story of Camp Level Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Camp Level Up was created in 2022 through a collaboration between the Mesa For All Foundation, Arizona State University and community partners who shared a vision for a summer program designed around the strengths, talents and interests of neurodivergent youth.
What began as an opportunity for young people to explore game development has grown into a broader creative technology experience that combines education, mentorship, social connection and career exploration.
As the program has evolved, Arizona State University has taken the lead in developing and delivering the camp through the Endless Games & Learning Lab and the ASU MIX Center. Mesa For All Foundation is proud to have helped establish Camp Level Up and continues to celebrate its growth and impact in the Mesa community.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
