Yes, very good. Makes it more than a game. What a great idea!
Blessings. :D

Here's the basic outline for our annual Redemption Mini-camp.
Recommended time needed: 4 days, about 3 hours give or take each day. We have traditionally done Mon-Thurs from 9 to 12 in the morning though kids can come earlier or stay later if they would like.
Resources per student: half starter deck, 1 each of all in print packs, snacks (optional), 60 pack of deck sleeves (optional)
Other resources: tables/chairs, "giveaway" common cards, extra rulebooks
Help needed: 1 experienced player per 4-5 students
Here is a basic schedule format for the mini-camps we have done:
9:00 Welcome/announcements/make sure students are each assigned to a table/camp helper
9:10 Hand out starter decks and Unlimited/Prophet packs (Day 1) pair up students to play each other with helpers going between games to explain things
9:50 Daily lesson
10:00 Short summary of best cards from packs of the day
10:10 Hand out packs (Day 2 Apostles/Patriarchs, Day 3 Kings/Angel Wars/Priests)
10:20 Help students add cards from their packs to their decks/help with trades between students
10:30 Pair up students for a second game
11:00 Quiz/other bible activity
11:15 Free time: students can work on decks, trade, play, etc
12:00 End of day
This is the basic schedule for days 1-3 and then we have held a small tournament on the last day (Type 1 2P only) usually with two divisions: completely new players & students who have played in the past/mini-camp helpers (optional)
I'm sure Bill will add some other details when he sees this post, but that is our mini-camp in brief.
Hope others will find this useful,
Justin

what would a daily lesson be? (I like teh idea)
ruthy:
So do you charge for this? How much? :D
Jesus loves you. Live for HIM!
The Guardian:
Daily lesson can be many different things. One year we had a Hero each day that we talked about and how God used them. This past summer we focused solely on Timothy and the idea of letting God use you even if you are a young person like Timothy. Bill could provide more details on this part since he has done more with writing basic curriculum for the mini-camp.
For cost, somewhere between $10 and $15 per student depending on a couple of factors (if you provide a small snack each day, whether or not your church provides some of the funds, if you want to give a pack of sleeves to each student, stuff like that.) For just the starter deck and packs its about $12 per student assuming you can get a wholesale discount from a distributor.
