LARPing....Camp 3 Style

For those of you who aren't aware, LARPing is a live action role-play game where participants physically act out certain characters. In spirit of our "Knights Tale" theme, Camp 3's head counselor Sarah designed a LARPing extravaganza for all of our middle school campers. To prepare for battle, Camp 3 was given time on Thursday to design their weapons out of cardboard. Everyone's creativity was very impressive! After some anxious anticipation, today was the day for everyone to show off their hard work and head down to the woods with their creations. The rules are as follows: whatever body part gets tapped, the player must lose use of it. If you get hit in the back, you're out. Everyone must use their acting skills by staying in character the entire time. In LARPing, every single action should be overly dramatic. They began playing with a girls vs. boys battle that eventually evolved into every person for themselves. It was definitely a funny way to spice up the day!
