The Full Inside Story of the #ClubPenguinSummit

Club Penguin Summit

A couple weeks ago, I was familiar with the website Club Penguin but it didn’t jump out at me as something I should go out of my way to introduce to my children.

Janice’s boy Jackson, now age 11, has played Club Penguin for a few years, but my 5 and 7 year old girls hadn’t yet spent much time online.

So when I was invited to attend the Club Penguin Summit to learn more about kids online safety along with a special presentation about cyberbullying, I decided to go.

Wow, am I ever glad I attended!

I learned an incredible amount about how Club Penguin acts as a safe and fun introduction to social media and online gaming. I tweeted non-stop during the 2 day event and published a a quick post on the first night of the event.

Now I have gathered together a complete collection of my tweets and photos using the website Storify to create a full story of the summit.

As you read through the following story, you will join us on the journey inside Club Penguin, see the headquarters and learn from the presentations by the leadership team. I’ve included most of the presentation slides except those we were asked not to share because of trade secrets or privacy restrictions.

Club Penguin Summit

The #ClubPenguinSummit at Club Penguin’s headquarters in Kelowna was a 2 day media event held for approximately 20 bloggers and reporters.

Storified by 5minutesformom· Mon, Apr 15 2013 01:06:26

Club Penguin is a fascinating virtual world that’s created and carefully monitored to allow kids a safe introduction to social media and gaming. 
The media summit held April 11th and 12th, 2013 was the first time reporters or bloggers have been invited into Club Penguin’s headquarters.
For a list of Twitter profiles for bloggers on the trip, follow this public Twitter List.

I’m looking forward to learning more about online safety for kids and the @clubpenguin game today at the #ClubPenguinSummit ~Sue5minutesformom

Chris emphasizes that this is the first time media has been invited inside their offices and been shown this type of information about how they run Club Penguin. We’re asked to keep certain parts of the presentations off record.

Now Question for parents is not should my kids be online but how do I prepare my kids for a social world. #ClubPenguinSummit5minutesformom

Club Penguin Puts Kids First in 4 Major Ways

1. Imaginative Play
2. Safety
3. Community
4. Social Good
Club Penguin is like "the empty cardboard box" where kids use imagination to create play. #ClubPenguinSummit pic.twitter.com/OfCr6uYEYN5minutesformom
Playing @clubpenguin is about being yourself online, not necessarily "cool" or trying to be "popular" #Kids #ClubPenguinSummit5minutesformom
They r giving kids tools to use their own creativity to build their own play environments. #ClubPenguinSummit pic.twitter.com/ujqo527lmN5minutesformom
Safety is key. They have 200+ moderators worldwide in 5 languages. #ClubPenguinSummit pic.twitter.com/DQdamQShoK5minutesformom
They have highly sophisticated chat – world’s most safe chat. #ClubPenguinSummit pic.twitter.com/Tv2bElbFa25minutesformom
Club penguin is more than a game. It is a community and ideas from kids r key in developing it. #ClubPenguinSummit pic.twitter.com/Ldd9Xumvsc5minutesformom
#ClubPenguin community includes their official blog, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook Parent page. #ClubPenguinSummit pic.twitter.com/ubP14rmgCl5minutesformom
The Club Penguin community is expanded through other social media channels both by fans creating and sharing CP related material, but also through the company’s official channels.

While many fans do talk about Club Penguin on Facebook, there is only an official Facebook page for parents as the age demographic of primary users is 8 – 12 years old and Facebook requires users to be at least 13 years of age.

Club Penguin’s Social Media Team

Chris Gliddon, who is affectionately known by CP fans as his Penguin’s name “Polo Field”, shares how he coordinates the official social media communication with the huge fan community.

I have to say, that @PoloField is such an authentic, sincere voice for Club Penguin and his passion for helping kids learn while having fun in a safe online environment almost brought tears to my eyes.

    My daughter will be so jealous when she reads this. Her dream is to visit the Club Penguin headquarters! Maybe in the future they will consider a #ClubPenguinSummit for kid bloggers. Her blog is greengirl816.wordpress.com.

    My 9yo has loved Club Penguin for over a year now. While at first I was hesitant, and a bit scared for him to be on Club Penguin, I now enjoy his interaction with the site, which has been nothing but positive. He collects puffles, plush, writes poems (!) about Club Penguin, and even draws pictures of Club Penguin. He just loves it.
