Summer Camp for Gamers

Amongst all the posts on TMP concerning the firestorm of Historicon '13 and links to GenCon pics that won't load was a simple post by Walt O'Hara from Third Point of Singularity. here

For those that don't like clicking links, Walt ran a week long "Fantasy Battle Gaming Camp" for interested youth. 54mm gladiators, 6mm sci-fi, Dystopian Wars, board games, and zombies.

I believe I have found my new calling in life

Back in the day, we joked about going from con to con in a Winnebago. Stopping at community centers during off weeks to run gaming clamps for kids might be the missing piece of the puzzle, short of hitting the Powerball, of course.

I can imagine running morning paint and take, followed by Mordheim on Monday, Gnome Wars, a collection of board games, and perhaps a reason to get into Wings of War or Check Your 6.

Walt should be commended for recruiting the next generation the right way, and I need to figure out how to do that next year.
