“Simply put, Guard Up changed my life. From the first moment I stepped into the tavern, to my last glimpse of the camp before I left, I was totally engulfed in the story, characters, and experience.”

– S Rosenthal

“(My son) had an amazing online experience with your camps. We live in Colorado but have friends in Massachusetts who have attended your camps. We have always been very jealous. Although we would never have wished this pandemic on anyone, the chance to experience your camps all the way from Colorado has been the best part of our summer.”

– E Rose

“The mentors are warm and engaging and do a great job. I appreciate the staff to kid ratio you’ve had. The staff does a great job of balancing silly and heroic elements in a way that strikes a chord with my kiddo. IN a time when real-life opportunities to get out and about are limited, I think my son enjoyed the chance to travel through these adventures. When we needed to wrap up the summer with a few more weeks this is what he picked!”

– J Riley

“My daughter has really struggled socially at school. This upcoming summer will be her third summer at Wizard & Warriors camp, and she tells us how accepted and included she feels…I told her that I wanted us to find a place where fitting in and having fun was natural and not hard. W&W camp has been that place. The staff work incredibly hard to connect with every camper. Quirky is accepted, creativity is encouraged, and teamwork is embraced.”

– Betsy Johnson

Dark times have arrived in the mythical realm of Sidelterra and it’s up to our band of young adventurers to save the day! Monsters, puzzles, and thrills await you on the quest, but it will require you and your friends to work together in order to restore order to land.

Our counselors become characters that will lead you through fantastic and perilous lands, spooky dungeons and laboratories, and difficult but exciting challenges. Costumes and roleplay bring the world to life and the choices you make directly affect how the story will unfold.

In the end, it’s your decisions that will determine if the world is saved…or if the dark magic will overtake the land.

What kind of hero will you be?

In Wizards & Warriors Camp the choose from the following guilds:

Fighters Guild

Though every hero knows how to hold and swing a simple sword, the Fighters Guild prides itself on the ability to train heroes how to use your weapon efficiently and effectively. In the Fighters Guild, heroes can learn and advance their ranks in combat abilities including Parry, Disarm, Maim, and Stun. Fighters Guild members must be ready to go on defensive marches, training missions, and monster hunts to learn their abilities. Heroes can also learn endurance through the Fighters Guild and advance the number of stamina points they have. Legends tell of other abilities taught by former Fighters Guild members including the most powerful of abilities… Slay.

Mages Guild

The secrets to spell casting and protection from enemy spells can only be learned by membership in this Guild. Mages must learn to identify and collect various spell components some of which can take days to be properly enchanted. Then, they must learn the incantations for their spells normally found only in Latin. Finally, Mages must then combine their ingredients into spell packets that are tuned for and selected by the individual mage. Mages can learn a variety of spells including Lightning, Root, Spell Shield, and Sleep. Mages must be willing to look for components guarded by monsters, speak to powerful creatures, and research in ancient libraries to learn their abilities. There are stories of powerful Mages who have learned to combine their spells with weapons but surely these are just stories…

Alchemists Guild

The Alchemists Guild specializes in creating toxins, traps, and potions by using their advanced understanding of chemistry and the natural elements of the world around them. They create solutions and reactions which produce tools for use in battles, unlike any other weapon. They must be sharp in intellect and patient with their research. They specialize in a style of problem-solving that may frustrate other guilds. Not every monster can simply be taken down with a sword or spell. That’s why the Alchemists are so vital to the quest…

Healers Guild

The Healers Guild are the most respected members of any society as they are preservers of life. The Healers Guild will teach you how to protect living heroes, heal injured heroes, and return lost heroes to their lives. Healers must gather and prepare ingredients for a wide number of potions, and they must also master healing magic to cast powerful protective spells. Healers can learn a number of abilities including Tend, Heal, Regenerate, and Restore. Healers must be prepared to search out the rarest of ingredients, must collect components from deadly creatures, and risk life and limb for others. Every day new ingredients and components are discovered…what will be the next potion discovered?

This summer our heroes will be embarking on a unique adventure as Sidleterra explores Moroccan cultural stories with new creatures and exciting challenges. It’s up to our heroes to determine the intentions of these new beings and how they affect this crossroads of myth, history, and literature. Are Djinn, Ghouls, and talking animals your allies, villains, or something in-between? While these new creatures are roaming around on the beaches of Sidleterra pirates are plundering the land and wreaking havoc on the locals. A cry for help is heard. The Gate of Destiny awaits you…

In Zombie Adventure Camp, choose from the following Divisions:

Strike Team

Battle-hardened and heavy blasters… this group is all about dominating the battlefield.  They are fearless in the face of overwhelming odds and often take heavy casualties… as well as give them.  Zombies may be scarce at first – but as the week passes, they grow in number and in strength. It’s up to Strike Team to keep them in check.

Recon

Without Intel, the battle is lost in this zombie war. Recon’s job is to gather as much information as possible about what’s really going on. This sometimes means entering zombie territory and breaking into the enemy’s labs to find the clues. Recon members hold awareness and intelligence above all else. Information is what makes humans more powerful than zombies.

R&D (Research & Development)

What’s the weakness of this latest breed of zombie? How do you work this new tech that was discovered by Recon? How can you make traps that slow down zombies and give Strike Team a better shot? All this and more is the monumental task of R&D. These aren’t just scientists… dangerous things happen when zombies are your test subject.

Spec Ops

When an ally needs to be rescued… or a building needs to be cleared, Spec Ops is called in. They work best infiltrating, obtaining their objective, and leaving… all without a trace. They value stealth, precision, and silent communication as the most important qualities in their division. They are the shadows that haunt the enemy in this zombie war.

An unknown threat has compromised Zee-Corp Headquarters! To protect the Defenders, the Artificial Intelligence System has brought them into a digital world until they can determine the nature of the threat, and how best to defeat it. Unfortunately, something has gone wrong and the Defenders are now stuck in the simulation until they can solve this new world’s problems. This digital world is full of zombies even stronger than those we’ve seen in the real world, as well as scientists we’ve never worked with before, like the visionary Dr. Valeria Frankenstein. Join new allies, battle fearsome foes, and find a way out of the simulation this summer at Guardian Adventures Zombie Camp!
