Program Highlights

Dungeons and Dragons Camp invites adventurers to dive into the world of tabletop role-playing games! Campers will embark on an imaginative journey filled with creativity, collaboration and storytelling. They'll learn the basics of D&D, including creating unique characters, building captivating worlds and mastering the rules of the game. Guided by experienced Dungeon Masters, participants will put their skills to the test in an engaging campaign full of twists, challenges and surprises.

Beyond the tabletop, campers will enjoy a variety of themed activities, including games and crafts that deepen their understanding of fantasy storytelling and D&D mechanics. Whether crafting props for their adventures, brainstorming plot twists or forging alliances in the game, participants will develop problem-solving skills, teamwork and a sense of adventure. Perfect for newcomers and seasoned young players alike, Dungeons and Dragons Camp promises a week of fun, creativity and epic quests!
