Join Mastermind Adventures to play a Dungeons and Dragons-like Table Top Role Playing Game (TTRPG). Come to Camp Mythos, inspired by world mythology and Percy Jackson–style adventures, where participants train as demigods, complete quests, interact with mythic characters, and uncover ancient secrets. Participants are sorted into teams representing different mythological pantheons (Greek, Roman, Egyptian, or Norse), where they’ll work together to complete challenges, solve riddles, interact with mythic characters, and uncover ancient mysteries. From training in combat to deciphering ancient prophecies, every activity is designed to immerse participants in a world where they’re the heroes of their own epic tale. Registration opens on Monday, June 15.
