About This Activity
Role Playing Games (RPGs) like Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) are a great way for kids to gain and reinforce social cooperation, critical thinking, and arithmetic skills in a developmentally appropriate, fun environment. This year at GFS, campers will take their D&D fantasy worlds one step further by participating in live action role play and science fiction writing workshops influenced by their game. Campers will get to act out the worlds they are creating in the game and externalize the wildest parts of their storytelling imaginations by participating in daily worldbuilding writing workshops led by Cosmic Writers! In this full-day camp, experienced Dungeon Masters from our partners at GameOn! will guide kids through character creation, followed by several sessions of role playing in an adventure. Play will concentrate on the basics, so no experience is necessary, but veteran players will also have a blast! All materials will be provided, including dice, character sheets, reference books, and miniature figurines. At the end of the camp, campers will be able to share their stories aloud with one another (and their families) and also keep their dice and figurines.
