This summer the Guild of Imagination is running a D&D camp on Recess. Over 5 sessions in one week, your kid will play through a complete campaign from start to finish with a small group and a trained Game Master guiding the way. Each session is 2 hours of live play.

Never played before? No problem. Your kid will learn everything they need as they play. Already experienced? They'll get a full week of immersive storytelling with a group that's just as into it as they are.

What Your Kid Will Do

1. Welcome to the Guild Your kid joins their group, meets their Game Master, gets their character, explores their backstory, learns the game mechanics, and the journey begins
2. Into the Wilds They'll navigate through challenging terrain, learn how combat works, encounter their first creatures, and start learning how to work as a team
3. Secrets of the Realms The group explores ancient ruins, solves puzzles, interacts with mystical artifacts, and learns how to use their character's skills to solve problems
4. Trials of Valor and Wit Things get harder. More complex combat, deeper role-playing, and the group has to strategize against serious foes
5. The Epic Conclusion The final showdown. Your kid uses everything they've learned, faces the ultimate challenge, achieves their character's goals, and the group celebrates the journey together

What They'll Need

• A computer with a working microphone and camera

Why D&D

D&D isn't just a game. Your kid will practice teamwork, creative problem solving, public speaking, and thinking on their feet without it ever feeling like a lesson. They'll build confidence by making decisions that matter in a low-pressure environment where mistakes are part of the fun.

If your kid has struggled to connect, felt left out, or just hasn't found their people yet, this is a great place to start. The small group format and guided storytelling gives every kid a role and a voice.

How It Works

• 5 sessions over 1 week (2 hours each)
• Ages 8 to 14
• Small groups so every kid gets a real role in the story
• Daily feedback You'll get a personal message from your kid's Game Master after day one and a wrap-up at the end about how your kid showed up, contributed, and grew throughout the week
