Who We Are
At Game Time Kids, we draw inspiration from the incredible way kids look at the world – with limitless curiosity, creativity, and no limits on what’s possible. We then put ourselves in their shoes, blending child-like imagination with thoughtful design to create activities that encourage them to embrace the best parts of being a kid. In a world full of screens and rigid routines, empowering their bold ideas matters more than ever.
From fresh twists on classics like hide-and-seek and designing homemade dodgeball shields before an epic battle, to our own original concepts like our Amazing Race, all-camp trick-shot video, and day-long Return of Nations competition where kids represent historic nations, GTK delivers adventure.
We pair our innovative programming with another central pillar – fostering a true community where every child feels included and part of something bigger. Borrowing from the magic of an overnight camp experience, we feature shared chants, mixed-age activities, campers teaming up with staff, and our GTK Hall of Fame for veterans. Our carefully selected high school and college counselors bring the full spirit and energy of GTK; engaging in every activity with genuine excitement, forming strong bonds with the kids, and serving as role models.
Miles Friedman (Owner and Founder)
Miles grew up constantly creating for his family and friends, whether it was designing epic obstacle courses or putting a fresh spin on traditional sports. During the stay-at-home orders of COVID-19, he invented imaginative challenges to break up the monotony of his family’s days. He dreamed of sharing these activities with kids, infusing their lives with energy and joy too. Once restrictions lifted, Miles – then a high school sophomore – was off to the races, founding Game Time Kids in 2021.
Working with children is a source of inspiration for Miles. Their curiosity, creativity, and fearlessness shape the mission and activities of Game Time Kids. As an entrepreneur, he brings those same qualities into his business, turning his visions into reality by creating, marketing, and managing a thriving enterprise.
In his spare time, Miles loves to play basketball and dream up new camp activities. Miles’ favorite GTK activity is trick shot day each session at summer camp.
What People Are Saying
“My son, who was a rising 3rd grader last summer, could not get enough of GTK summer camp! The camp put together the perfect mix of activities: Original games I’ve never heard of and my son can’t stop talking about, classic sports, and my child’s favorite, “trick-shot” events. Parents get real time updates from camp as well as fun photos and videos. From the kids perspective, Miles and the counselors are simply the coolest! I feel great about my kids spending time at GTK and having great teenage role models!”
“We LOVE the Game Time Kids dodgeball league. The team of coaches are especially skilled at ensuring any dodgeball level can be accommodated. As a parent of a neurodivergent child, I was delighted to see him successfully participate and have fun in a team sport. We finally found our place in the sports world. I’m a dodgeball mom!”
“My son has just LOVED GTK camp. June is always a very hard month for him but GTK camp gave him so much joy. You create an experience where every camper feels they belong, are celebrated and can be themselves. The counselors are amazing, organized, hold a great standard and keep the kids safe. The activities you created are just epic. My son came home the first day asking if he could do GTK camp every summer.”
