PAST CAMPS
SAMHAIN RESCUE – Ages 6-12: 29th to 31st October 2019
The woods whisper of secrets never to be told, the Autumn wind blows us ever closer to an adventure that is crying out for someone to heed the call. Journey into the otherworld to find that which has been lost. At Samhain, when the veil is thin, is the time to light our ancestral fires and venture forth into winter’s night. But beware, where there is mystical adventure this time of year, the Banshee is not far behind.
NATURE SPIRIT – Ages 6-10: 1st to 4th July 2019
Follow hidden paths deep into the woods where wonder awaits. If you want to explore, you need to master some basic skills—and this is the place to do it! We will build a base camp at the edge of the wilderness and journey into the deep dark forest. But beware, the forest holds secrets and a power not even known to the wisest bards or bravest of souls!
DRAGON QUEST – Ages 6-12: 15th to 18th July 2019
Create your own character, join a band of adventurers and experience a summer camp inspired by Dungeons and Dragons! There are tales to be told and quests to complete.
