MORE SUMMER OPTIONS!

For Summer 2021 we’ve got two options for in person, full-day Labs:

Our traditional Summer Lab (like we held 2014-2019), held mostly indoors plus an active, outdoor session every day.

Our totally-outdoors Summer Lab (like we held last summer), held completely in Prospect Park from start to finish.

These options are completely separate, with no overlap in staff, supplies, or spaces. Details below…

INDOOR (+ PARK time)

There are lots of benefits to indoor programming!

For starters, our GIGANTIC library of board and card games!

Everyday we choose a different tabletop game and spend the morning session learning it, playing it and analyzing game play. After playing, kids record their thoughts on improving or changing the game, present their ideas to a group, talk strategy and hone their design skills.

For the day’s second session, we play our mega-popular “Battle Lab” in Prospect Park. Kids brandish safe, foam weapons - inhabiting characters and enjoying fun, skill-based battles!

In the afternoon it’s on to Dungeons & Dragons back in the Lab. Our kids get a talented “Dungeon Master” who tells a story and lead them on an epic quest.

For indoor Summer Lab, participants earn merit badges for personal skill development and contributions to game play - allowing them to level up and join one of our Immortal Clans!

Purchase by the day or by the week. Early drop off and late pick up hours available.

Please register by your child’s age. 6 - 7 year olds attend our Center Slope location; 8 -13 year olds attend our South Slope location. Late pick up (past 3 pm) is held at Center Slope.

NOTE: Strict health and safety protocols followed, including social distancing, masks at all times, air filtration/circulation, and health screenings. Seats are limited due to adherence of health guidelines.

TOTALLY OUTDOORS

There are lots of benefits to outdoor programming, too!

Our day in Prospect Park is filled with games that are active, strategic, park-tested and unique to Brooklyn Game Lab.

We’ve gained tons of outdoor play experience over this past year, and know how to get kids playing and socializing while staying safe. Plus we developed dozens of new activities to keep kids active and engaged.

Activities include new, BGL-original physical games involving an arsenal of flying discs, hoops, cones, beanbags, balls and more. Kids have plenty of time for the beloved activity “Battle Lab” as we continue to enhance and re-imagine Battle Lab by combining our new park supplies and our safe, foam weapons.

We also have a wide variety of verbal games played in a socially-distanced circle in the shade. This includes improv activities, storytelling and deduction games.

Purchase by the day or by the week. Late pick up hours (indoors at our Center Slope location) are available.

As was the case in 2020, kids are divided in small groups by age and have a dedicated instructor for the day. These groups do not mix at any point during the day.

Please review our bad-weather policy when you register. We are not providing indoor shelter for this program.

NOTE: Strict health and safety protocols followed, including social distancing, masks at all times, and health screenings.
