Garage Tesla Camp is one of the warmest memories from my childhood

Three weeks without school and daily routines, which I dedicated to exploring different hobbies and discovering my true passions.
I came to Garage Tesla Camp and began exploring my business side. My partner and I created a mobile game and considered posting it on Kickstarter, but later decided that the gaming industry wasn’t the right fit for us. So we started exploring different directions. Surprisingly, I found myself filming short movies and acting in theatre plays. This helped me discover my theatrical side, which I still use in daily life — from improvisational shows and concerts with my rock band to thinking quickly in political debates.
Still, the thing I liked the most was the community — the children and the staff. The kids were amazing, and I think it’s very important to be surrounded by thoughtful and talented peers your age, which was exactly the case at Garage Tesla Camp. The mentors shared knowledge in areas ranging from arts and costume design to professional business coaching. And although they were sometimes strict, they were always kind and supportive of every new idea — even the bad ones :)
All in all, I think of those three weeks as one of the best experiences of my childhood. It boosted both my knowledge and confidence and gave me many new friends. Highly recommended!
