sword art, summer 2025

Adventures in Cardboard uses the power of fantasy storytelling to explore and combine crafting, improvised roleplay, and tactical competition into creative mythic outdoor play. Each week of Adventures in Cardboard will see new adventures, new storylines, new quests, and new creations spurred on by the creativity, playfulness, and imagination of participants!

Our fantastical crew of actors, artists, teachers, and fantasy enthusiasts are back for another summer of competitive games, cooperative free role play, and zany creativity! Anna, Eric, and Bailey all return, joined by a host of other characters to make this summer a mystical and mythical time!

If you are joining after experiencing camp in MN, this is a chance to experience AiC as it first started, without the castle and village roleplay and sans some 100+ campers to fight. Journey with us in the myths and legends of Middengaard...
