North Carolina Esports Academy
About
North Carolina Esports Academy is a youth gaming center on Colonades Way in Cary, built around the idea that time in front of a screen can teach something. The team calls it an educational video gaming experience, with character building and life skills folded into the play.
Families come for STEM-focused esports camps that run weekly during the year, and the academy also puts on tournaments for competitive players in the Triangle. If your child wants to take gaming further, the staff will help set up a plan to get started.
