STRATAGEMICS: SOMETHING NEW IN A SUMMER DAY CAMP
Strategy Gaming, All Day, Every Day

Yugioh, Magic, Star Wars minis, and Settlersare just some of the modern games we teach and play at our camps.  Play your favorites, trade with others and learn the top strategies, tactics and tricks to get good at your game.  Want to learn other top games?  We have them and we teach them.  Want to learn something new and different?  We have that too!  We hold tournaments, we do coaching and teaching, we have fair trading, and hours and hours of free choice gaming, all in a positive environment.  Want to learn classics like Chess, Backgammon and Mah Jong?  We do that too!  This is our fifth year of offering these camps, and the response has been outstanding.
HOW DOES IT WORK?  WHAT IS THIS CAMP LIKE?
The morning starts out very relaxed, with campers trading, looking at the collections of others, or playing any variety of casual games.  After about an hour, once everyone's arrived, the Game of the Day is handed out and taught for basic rules and best strategies. Then we play!  Tournaments take place  in both expert and beginner categories.  Casual gaming and trading usually extends into lunch, and we play more physical games outside, weather permitting, like Capture the Flag and Ultimate.  Once we're back inside, final rounds are played while  those not involved in finals either watch the top players, work out trades, learn new games or just play.  Tournaments run Monday through Wednesday; we reserve Thursday and Friday to introduce as many new games as possible.  Overall, it's a great week!
WHAT CAMPS ARE OFFERED, AND WHAT ARE THE DATES?
For something a little more in-depth, try the STRATEGY CLASSROOM CAMP, which offers plenty of gaming, but also  a more academic approach to understanding strategy.  In these camps we mostly game, but we have a daily strategy class on  strategic points such as mathematical probability, terrain and technology as they relate to both major historical battles and to the games of today.  We've looked at Salamis and Gettysburg; this year we'll look at the role of terrain at the Normandy Beachheads in 1944, and we'll look at some of the basic ideas in the developing academic discipline of Game Theory.
