LARP Adventure Camp
LARP Adventure Camp
This unique camp provides an opportunity to play outside and discover Live Action Role Playing in a fun, accessible, welcoming environment. Act out stories from history, mythology, Star Wars, or video games in a low-risk, supervised space focused on good sportsmanship, social connections, and imagination. Students will make their own foam “boffer bats” and other gear, and learn about the rules of gameplay before engaging in various configurations of play-fighting activities. The camp will also teach kids about common outdoor hazards, how to take care of themselves while engaging in physical activity outdoors, and about how to play outside in a way that is respectful of the land and the environment. Open to students going into grades 5-8.

Indigenous Land
Puyallup
“It [Lushootseed] is from the beginning strength of the people, and it is from what the Creator put down upon this land for people…. The earth speaks. The animals speak. Everything has a voice.”
Vi Hilbert, Grandmother Video Project
The Puyallup tribe in their own language call themselves a name that means “people from the bend at the bottom of the river.” They are one of twelve Lushootseed speaking tribes in the Puget Sound region. The language of Lushootseed has vast diversity and multiple dialects, with each group having their own way of speaking. All dialects were to be honored and respected, reflecting the values of Lushootseed culture such as ‘Be kind, be helpful, be sharing.’
The Lushootseed speaking peoples called the mountain that dominated their horizon Tacoma or Tahoma, a word that may have meant “the mother of all waters.” The Puyallup tribe is calling on the state of Washington to rename the mountain from its current official name of “Rainier.”
Today, the Puyallup Tribe is a recognizable force in the fight for tribal rights, and were a significant player in the Boldt Decision of 1974, establishing the rights of Native Americans in Washington State to fish using traditional methods.
