Adventure Club: Games & Workshops
Learn new skills, explore new options, become a hero like your character in real life
The Adventure Club is an opportunity to take a little bit of time outside of the active quest to do quest-adjacent activities like:
- drawing and writing,
- building an understanding of mythic archetypes,
- exploring the hero’s journey,
- learning about real world cultures and mythology,
- learning dueling techniques and group battle tactics,
(and how these can change depending on which Swashers are being used) - learning real-world crafts and skills like:
- archery and bow-making
- spinning, weaving, sewing
- arts, music, poetry, storytelling, acting
- wilderness skills and nature awareness
There will also be plenty of opportunity for more free-form activities such as riddles, puzzles, board games, card games, 1-on-1 dueling, and creative expression.
Dates, Times, Details
In 2026 we won’t be running a separate Adventure Club program. Instead, some Adventure Club like activities will be included in the Sword Games program as extended day options after our Bellingham Summer Camps.
The group will be a mix of ages, including kids from multiple questing groups (and thus an option for friends and siblings who have been in different questing groups to connect).
