The realms of fantasy come to life as you immerse yourself in a world of magic and adventure. Mix imaginative live-action role play with real wilderness skills as you navigate the challenges that await you.
Note for past participants: Elements of this camp remain the same as previous years and may not work well as a repeat experience.
- Embark on epic quests, decipher clues, and explore the wilderness in search of plants that hold healing powers, provide food, or serve as crafting materials.
- Dive into the heart of the adventure as you create a character with unique skills to overcome obstacles and undertake journeys that require stealth, diplomacy and keen exploration.
- Unleash your creativity by transforming natural materials into tools, artifacts, and magical items that will aid you on your path.
- Unite your adventuring party to master simple navigation challenges, prepare goods for a bustling makers’ market and celebrate your journey with a shared feast.
