NEW for 2025! Quest Camp
- Quest Camp is a tabletop role-playing camp, designed to help campers express their creativity, practice social skills, and solve problems as a team.
Campers will embody their own fictional characters throughout the camp week. Characters will evolve and progress along with their campers’ real-life activities. An hour spent practicing archery might increase your character’s skill with a bow & arrow. Climbing on the ropes course could increase your character’s agility. These real-world skills are then translated into an interactive and collaborative storytelling experience!
Quest camp will make use of a variety of popular game systems, including Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and more!
