The event banner for our Minecraft Club hosted in partnership with Elysium

Minecraft Club (Intermediate / Advanced)

Play, Compete, Connect — Ready to level up your game?

Minecraft Club is for children and youth already comfortable with Minecraft and our Intro program who want a higher-energy, faster-paced experience — competitive mini-games, collaborative challenges, lively Zoom conversations, and a bit of friendly chaos while playing fair and building positive connections.

Hosted by Elysium as part of AutismBC’s Socials Program.

What to Expect

  • Complex builds, redstone engineering, and advanced mechanics
  • In-depth survival strategies, world exploration, and resource management
  • Trading within an in-game economy

The Elysium server is private and allowlisted, and stays open for unstructured play between sessions.

AutismBC Socials

Social clubs are a great way to make friends, build confidence, and strengthen communities. AustismBC has been a supporter of social clubs for autistic kids, teens, and adults as well as siblings and friends. We support various aspects of these clubs so our staff, facilitators, and volunteers can do what they do best: support and connect the autism community through inclusive groups, clubs, and events.

About Elysium

It offers a safe, moderated space where players can be themselves while developing social connections through shared creative and cooperative play. AutismBC partners with Elysium to bring this community to participants in our Socials Program.
