Guardians of the Flame

 

Join us on a fantasy role-playing adventure! Over the course of 3 days, campers will step into the role of their character and join a questing party to defend the forest! Complete quests requiring wit, skills, and resilience. Use bushcrafting skills to carve tools and defenses, craft intricate potions, and explore the depths of the forest to solve puzzles.

Campers will:

• Create a custom character - elf? wizard? barbarian? druid?

• Go on hikes, fishing, and bug catching to make discoveries in the forest

• Work in teams for solving quests - animal ID, tracking, foraging

• Use real tools like knives and flint and steel to light fires

• Battle in epic tournaments using foam swords 

• Get creative with world-building and role play

​

*After registration you will be given a full list of what to bring, and what to expect. This is a drop off camp, and parents are of course welcome to hang out at the park, but we do ask that parents leave the area so we can continue to foster skills such as independence and resilience with our campers. Parents are welcome to stop by and say hello at anytime during the camp, but please let a camp leader know so you can find us if we are out in the woods.
