Bring the joy of play and connection
to your organization
We work with community organizations like schools, libraries, clubs, camps and more to host Minecraft events and develop custom Minecraft social clubs — all capable of being delivered virtually.
What to Expect From a Partnership
Programming Co-Creation
Whether you are looking for a one-time workshop or a turnkey program, our team will work with you every step of the way to create the experience that you want. Depending on your needs, we can work together to create custom programming from the ground up or work within the activities readily available on our server.
Training & Facilitation
We want to see video game based recreational and educational programs take root in the community in a sustainable way. To that end, we are happy to provide a Minecraft playbook to your organization, bring your team along as we deliver the program and train any interested staff in both the technology and facilitation.
Customer Service
Safety and security are our top priorities. All our workshops, camps, and programs come fully supported by our curriculum and IT team. We are readily available to answer questions from your staff, parents and participants.
Case Study: Camp Kirk
When Covid-19 hit and physical summer camps were taken off the table, Katapult partnered with Camp Kirk to recreate the physical camp grounds on Minecraft. Campers were able to revisit camp, connect with each other, and have fun participating in collaborative builds and moderated mini games.
“[Katapult] has blown away our expectations of what an online program could be. We were struggling to figure out what to do with our campers and Michael brilliantly stepped in and created a program that was so easy to set up and was fun and engaging for all of our kids and teens. Having Michael set this up from start to finish meant that all I had to do was get the kids signed up - it was the easiest decision I ever made.”

Case Study: AutismBC
Elysium is partnered with AutismBC to deliver monthly Minecraft Social Club events including creative build challenges, survival base tutorials, and dynamic mini games.
“Working with Serene, Michael, and the Elysium Team has been a pleasure. AutismBC was looking for support to help bring our community members together. We met with the Elusium team and discussed the possibility of connecting and hosting some mini-games and challenges. It would allow for remote connection and bring Minecrafters together in social clubs depending on Minecraft familiarity.
Personally, I do not know too much about Minecraft. I knew, we kept getting requests for social clubs. I knew, we wanted to be able to host an online club. I knew, we had interest from our community members but we needed a team to help build a platform for connection - but I couldn't provide too much direction past there.
Social isolation has been challenging during this pandemic. Moving to an online format we are able accommodate people from more remote communities across BC. Having a facilitated server that is inclusive, we can limit the ability to destroy others builds, we can promote collaborative play and communication, and we help build friendships while creating and navigating online worlds. Elysium went over and beyond by opening this server daily and having a volunteer staff moderate there to help and answer questions.
The 1:1 support and calm individualized instruction style make this a club and server worth connecting to. I would recommend connecting with Elysium to learn about building and creating. As we say at the AutismBC Minecraft Club - Building a World is more fun with friends!”
