Understanding LARP: the What, How, and Why (or Why Not)

Live Action Role Playing (LARP) has become more mainstream over the past few years; but what exactly is it? Most people think of it as a bunch of people in full costume running around and hitting each other with swords (which it totally can be, and that is very fun). But at its core, LARP is a story-telling medium. Come learn about LARP and how it can be integrated into your camp programming; either as an enhancement to what already exists, or as a completely new activity. Let The Wayfinder Experience bring you along on the journey from no budget and no space to elaborate costumes and rituals, with all the steps in between. Figure out how LARP can fit into your camp programming in the capacity that works best for you. Come listen, learn, and go back ready to play!

Following this session will be an additional session running a mini LARP for all levels to gain the full LARP experience.
