Overview
LARP Adventure Program’s residential camp is a large-scale LARP event where we transform outdoor environments into a rich fantasy world called Etheraz. Campers will spend the week training their characters and engaging in LARP story events, as well as participating in traditional summer camp activities. Through sieges, strategic negotiations, and stakeouts, campers create unforgettable memories and make lifelong friends.
Grounded in theater, martial arts, and STEAM-based activities, we utilize the exciting and immersive world of play to create a place where our players can develop the foundation for self-empowerment. Our approach to community arts and education allows each player to nurture authentic self-expression within a creative environment. Above all, we endeavor to create a safe, fostering community for all, with an emphasis on our LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent players, where everyone can discover their personal legend!

Welcome Message
Eric, Founder & Director
LAP started in 2000 at the Springfield Museums in Massachusetts as an afterschool program. Students in Eric’s class wanted to play pretend they were in a copyright non-distinct magic school. After seeing how the kids interacted with the story, learning real-life lessons and growing the story together, he decided to pursue creating a LARP program specifically for kids.
