Who we are

The Trainers Guild is an after-school program and summer camp for Pokémon Trading Card Game enthusiasts, focusing on children ages 6-14 years old who have little, basic, or intermediate understanding of the cards and gameplay. Located across the United States and Canada, the Guild aims to develop the skills, strategies, and friendships that come with collectable card games.

At the heart of The Trainers Guild is an engaging curriculum that combines hands-on gameplay with theoretical insights. Students take classes on deck building, card synergy, strategy formulation, and tournament preparation, all guided by experienced instructors and accomplished players known as professors. In our programs, we focus on improving math, strategic thinking, and reading comprehension by creating a friendly, competitive environment for practical skill development.

Community is central to The Trainers Guild experience. Students participate in group discussions, collaborate on strategies, and compete in in-house tournaments, fostering camaraderie and deeper relationships among trainers.
