If you question your health or your child’s health in any way\, please do not come in.  Safety is first and foremost. \n\n\n\n\nParents and Students Responsibilities: the following items are needed for each student to have at the camp for their personal use.  It is the responsibility of the parents and students to make sure these items are bought every day.Bag or Box Lunch (since students cannot leave the campus\, they must bring enough food for themselves to be comfortable all day long)Fork Friendly Foods (we want to discourage any students from eating foods with their hands at camp.  If possible\, please send food that allows your child to eat with a fork\, or is wrapped in such a way as to allow them to not need to touch it to eat it).Drinking Water (students will not have access to drinking fountains or other drinking water on site\, so they must bring enough water for them to be comfortable all day long in changeable weather).Soapy Spray Bottle (this bottle should be filled with water and soap that is safe for your child to use on themself.  It can be used to spray on their hands or personal items they wish to clean when the bathroom is not available.  If a spray bottle isn’t available\, a labeled water bottle filled with soapy water should work.Small Towel (since students may need to wash dry their hands more often than usual\, it will be helpful for them to have a towel that they can dry their hands on should they need extra washing between bathroom visits).Sunscreen or Hats as needed (since it can be quite hot at times\, and players will also be wearing masks and gloves\, hats that keep off the sun and/or sunscreen that they can use are needed).Emergency First Aid Card:  Each student should bring a card with their emergency contact number\, and any prudent health issues\, such as allergies\, etc. clearly printed on it\, to be turned in to Christopher’s Box at the start of the camp\, in case of emergencies.Permission Slips:  Many students enjoy leaving campus to get hot food at lunch and cold drinks.  If your child has permission to do this\, send a note or check the box above.  Students also like to craft larp items to keep and this requires use of sharp knives.  If your child has permission to use sharp tools for crafting\, send a note to this effect as well.\n\nBackpack or Bag for all the above items:  Since students need more personal items than usual\, providing something with their name on it that can contain all these items is a necessity.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStudent Responsibilities (there are the pieces that need to be enforced with the students to be sure we are protecting each other and the use of our facilities)Students must only use the bathrooms one at a time:  We have access to a bathroom that is directly off the field\, and will not enter the other buildings at any time.  We will only use this bathroom one at a time and must get permission from our group leader before we do.Wash Hands before eating lunch:  Students need to be sure they wash their hands before starting to eat at lunch to reduce the chances of any germs being transferred to food.\n\nStay in the areas designated for larp only:  We have use of the space at our site for larp\, but only the outside areas which we must take care of.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you\, or your child cannot or will not comply with these procedures they will be barred from the camp and future camps as well.

SUMMARY:Sebastopol Character League
DESCRIPTION:This is a Character League run by James that continues the story we are running on the previous weekend.  Players don’t need to attend both weekends\, in fact\, the setting is designed with the assumption that many players will attend this weekend only and not the other.  New players can get training here as well.  Players are also welcome to come and just play monsters and other roles the GM assigns to them (provided they have been trained) at no cost.  Playing a character in this league is what players pay for.  Note: Christopher Melville does not attend this event.  It is run by James only.

If you question your health or your child’s health in any way\, please do not come in.  Safety is first and foremost. \n\n\n\n\nParents and Students Responsibilities: the following items are needed for each student to have at the camp for their personal use.  It is the responsibility of the parents and students to make sure these items are bought every day.Bag or Box Lunch (since students cannot leave the campus\, they must bring enough food for themselves to be comfortable all day long)Fork Friendly Foods (we want to discourage any students from eating foods with their hands at camp.  If possible\, please send food that allows your child to eat with a fork\, or is wrapped in such a way as to allow them to not need to touch it to eat it).Drinking Water (students will not have access to drinking fountains or other drinking water on site\, so they must bring enough water for them to be comfortable all day long in changeable weather).Soapy Spray Bottle (this bottle should be filled with water and soap that is safe for your child to use on themself.  It can be used to spray on their hands or personal items they wish to clean when the bathroom is not available.  If a spray bottle isn’t available\, a labeled water bottle filled with soapy water should work.Small Towel (since students may need to wash dry their hands more often than usual\, it will be helpful for them to have a towel that they can dry their hands on should they need extra washing between bathroom visits).Sunscreen or Hats as needed (since it can be quite hot at times\, and players will also be wearing masks and gloves\, hats that keep off the sun and/or sunscreen that they can use are needed).Emergency First Aid Card:  Each student should bring a card with their emergency contact number\, and any prudent health issues\, such as allergies\, etc. clearly printed on it\, to be turned in to Christopher’s Box at the start of the camp\, in case of emergencies.Permission Slips:  Many students enjoy leaving campus to get hot food at lunch and cold drinks.  If your child has permission to do this\, send a note or check the box above.  Students also like to craft larp items to keep and this requires use of sharp knives.  If your child has permission to use sharp tools for crafting\, send a note to this effect as well.\n\nBackpack or Bag for all the above items:  Since students need more personal items than usual\, providing something with their name on it that can contain all these items is a necessity.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStudent Responsibilities (there are the pieces that need to be enforced with the students to be sure we are protecting each other and the use of our facilities)Students must only use the bathrooms one at a time:  We have access to a bathroom that is directly off the field\, and will not enter the other buildings at any time.  We will only use this bathroom one at a time and must get permission from our group leader before we do.Wash Hands before eating lunch:  Students need to be sure they wash their hands before starting to eat at lunch to reduce the chances of any germs being transferred to food.\n\nStay in the areas designated for larp only:  We have use of the space at our site for larp\, but only the outside areas which we must take care of.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you\, or your child cannot or will not comply with these procedures they will be barred from the camp and future camps as well.

SUMMARY:Zephandria Sebastopol Weekend League
DESCRIPTION:Once a players has attended other events and become familiar with the core rules\, they can attend this event.  We do not train brand new players or players who are not playing in other leagues at this event\, so only come to this day if you already have the basic rules down\, have been to a full summer camp\, or are also enrolled in a weekly league.  This storyline takes place in a distant part of the game world inaccessible to other leagues and thus the events that happen on this day and the characters we play cannot interact with other league days.  Characters made in other leagues cannot play in this setting\, and only the characters we make here are available.  There are many more unknown creatures\, items\, and lore for this setting\, which also uses it’s own pantheon of deities and has a different creation mythos.  This league is for kids who want to explore into a more advanced mode of the game\, but only requires a basic understanding of the game rules\, skills\, and spells\, for players to join.

Players with several years of experience can also volunteer and attend events for free as “baddies.” \n\n\n\nLocation: The camp is being held at Lucchesi Park in Petaluma (as of April 12th 2024) – we are behind the Community Center building. \n\n\n\nWhat to bring: Students need to bring food and water (if attending both sessions)\, clothing for variation in the weather\, as well as adequate sun protection and good athletic shoes.  Costumes and props are also a wonderful addition to our events. \n\n\n\nSchedule: We plan to meet every Friday and begin in the afternoon\, with an early afternoon and an evening session.  Each session is a series of missions\, training\, and role-playing encounters.  (If you need early drop off or late pickup- contact me).  Each season of events follows a specific story and will change and be refreshed with each new season and setting\, allowing new players to catch up in the story during each new season. \n\n\n\nWeather & Emergencies: Though we plan to meet on the listed days\, there are some where we simply cannot safely run LARP outdoors.  If the fields are saturated due to rain\, and closed by the city\, or if wildfire smoke makes outside air unhealthy for kids\, or if heavy rain and wind are forecast during the hours of larp\, we usually cancel that day.  Keep an eye on the website www.fanwar.com and our Facebook Page\, for updates about date cancelations.  Because the fees are being kept low by using a flat rate\, weather related cancelations are not refundable.SIGN UP FORM \n\n\n\n1st Child                                                                                Age:                       2nd Child                                                       Age:        3rd Child                                                                                Age:                       4th Child                                                       Age:        Parent 1  Parent 2 Cell #  Cell # Email  Email Emerg. #   \n\n\n\nIs your child permitted to walk off site (out of the park) during the camp hours to go get food\, drinks\, on their own?   YES [  ]   NO  [  ] \n\n\n\nThe cost for LARP League Events is a flat rate per season.  We don’t offer drop in\, or billed daily.  You may attend one or both sessions of the day for this cost (2 hours or all 5.5 hours\, one flat rate). \n\n\n\n[ ] Fall Friday Season Pass: (Aug) 25 (Sept) 1\,8\,15\,22\,29 (Oct) 6\,13\,20\,27 (Nov) 3\,10\,17 \n\n\n\nCost: $390 per student.

I understand that the undersigned will be held to a standard of conduct during this event. Failure to abide by safety rules will result in a warning or expulsion from the event.

If you question your health or your child’s health in any way\, please do not come in.  Safety is first and foremost.. \n\n\n\n2.               Parents and Students Responsibilities: the following items are needed for each student to have at the camp for their personal use.  It is the responsibility of the parents and students to make sure these items are bought every day \n\n\n\n Bag or Box Lunch (since some students cannot leave the campus\, they must bring enough food for themselves to be comfortable all day long) \n\n\n\n Fork Friendly Foods (we want to discourage any students from eating foods with their hands at camp.  If possible\, please send food that allows your child to eat with a fork\, or is wrapped in such a way as to allow them to not need to touch it to eat it). \n\n\n\nDrinking Water (students will not have access to drinking fountains or other drinking water on site\, so they must bring enough water for them to be comfortable all day long in changeable weather). \n\n\n\nSunscreen or Hats as needed (since it can be quite hot at times\, and players will also be wearing masks and gloves\, hats that keep off the sun and/or sunscreen that they can use are needed). \n\n\n\nEmergency First Aid Card:  Each student should bring a card with their emergency contact number\, and any prudent health issues\, such as allergies\, etc. clearly printed on it\, to be turned in to Christopher’s Box at the start of the camp\, in case of emergencies. \n\n\n\nBackpack or Bag for all the above items:  Since students need more personal items than usual\, providing something with their name on it that can contain all these items is a necessity.

If you are joining late\, you may prorate the remaining months in the season.  Players are not allowed to pay for each day they attend\, but must make one payment of the flat rate.  If they miss a large number of sessions\, they can arrange to get credit for the missed days.  Trades for crafting of supplies and repair work is also accepted for those who wish to play a lot but keep the costs down.  See Christopher for projects to do as trade.  Remember\, this even is free unless your child wants to play a character (they must know the rules and be able to follow them however). \n\n\n\nLocation: These events are usually held at Mitchell Park\, in Palo Alto CA.  We meet near the roundabout. \n\n\n\nWhat to bring: Students need to bring food and water (if attending both sessions)\, clothing for variation in the weather\, as well as adequate sun protection and good athletic shoes.  Costumes and props are also a wonderful addition to our events. \n\n\n\nSchedule: We plan to meet every Wednesday.  The first session from 1-3pm is free (though players must know the rules already)\, while the second session requires a character maintenance fee of a flat rate for that hour.  Each session is a series of missions\, training\, and role-playing encounters.  (If you need early drop off or late pickup- contact me).  Each season of events follows a specific story and will change and be refreshed with each new season and setting\, allowing new players to catch up in the story during each new season.  Players who do pay for the character maintenance portion of the event will play only roles assigned by the GM. \n\n\n\nWeather & Emergencies: Though we plan to meet on the listed days\, there are some where we simply cannot safely run LARP outdoors.  If the fields are saturated due to rain\, and closed by the city\, or if wildfire smoke makes outside air unhealthy for kids\, or if heavy rain and wind are forecast during the hours of larp\, we usually cancel that day.  Keep an eye on the website www.fanwar.com and our Facebook Page\, for updates about date cancelations.  Because the fees are being kept low by using a flat rate\, weather related cancelations are not refundable. \n\n\n\n SIGN UP FORM \n\n\n\n1st Child                                                                                Age:                       2nd Child                                                       Age:        3rd Child                                                                                Age:                        4th Child                                                       Age:        Parent 1  Parent 2 Cell #  Cell # Email  Email Emerg. #   \n\n\n\nIs your child permitted to walk off site (out of the park) during the camp hours to go get food\, drinks\, on their own?   YES [  ]   NO  [  ] \n\n\n\nMitchell Park LARP League Events are free to play for kids that know the rules.  If a child wants to play a Character in the story\, then they must pay for the one hour from 4-5pm each day which involves the character creation and development.  This cost is a flat rate per season.  We no longer offer Weekly Leagues on a drop in basis\, or billed daily due to changes in the parks permits and fees. \n\n\n\n[ ] Fall Wednesday Character Pass: (Aug) 24\, 31 (Sept) 7\,14\,21\,28 (Oct) 5\,12\,19\,26 (Nov) 2\,9\,16\, \n\n\n\nCost: $520.

SUMMARY:NEW!  Marin League
DESCRIPTION:What is Fanwar LARP? \n\n\n\nIn Live Action Role Playing (LARP)\, players pretend to be someone else\, living in a different time or place\, and acting out events that might happen in that world. Many of these games involve battles\, and so LARPers use safe\, padded props that look like weapons to act out the combat. Unlike in a play where everyone has certain lines to say and the story is set\, in LARP\, the players each act out a certain person and make their own decisions for that person as the game evolves.Live Action Role Playing is a combination of sports\, drama\, and table-top role playing games. It has many forms and settings all over the world\, and has been a popular pastime for kids and adults for generations. Every child who plays at pretend has done LARP\, although they didn’t know they were doing it. We are not the creators of LARP\, but rather\, those keeping the tradition of imaginative play alive in our culture.Our LARP is specifically medieval fantasy based\, with swords\, spells\, and dragons\, but many other settings exist with other LARP groups and players. We have created a set of rules to keep everyone playing safely\, fairly\, and focused. That is what the FanWar LARP Rule Book is for. Our game has been continuously added onto by all the players\, so that over time it has stayed fresh and exciting. The game world we use has also been affected by hundreds of players over time\, so when you step into our story\, you are entering a long history of adventures\, mysteries and battles!All the steps to learning to play the game have been clearly organized for you in the rule book\, from the simplest and most important in the front\, to the very complex and rare in the back. The book is broken up into chapters based on how complex of a game you are involved in. Simple battles can be done using just the first Chapters. More complex stories can be told using character creation rules\, and the most complex of adventures can be taken on using the entire set.Welcome to our game. We love what we do\, and hope you enjoy it as well.“All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.” \n\n\n\n\nCarl Jung\n\n\n\n\nVideos \n\n\n\nThe Regulars LARPing (SF Chronicle)-  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe First Five Rules-  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArmor Zones-  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColor Tags-  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n-Bonus Material- \n\n\n\nTEDx Talk on LARPing with Kids and Teens-  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFanwar LARP 2023 Rulebook-  \n\n\n\n\nhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1wSFFKj8Txkrl0q8N_dT2qBjGjatakYkC/view?usp=drivesdk\n\n\n\n\nInformation Sheet \n\n\n\nRegistration: New players can only join at the start of the month.  All families must pre-register for this event.

SUMMARY:Sebastopol Character League
DESCRIPTION:This is a Character League run by James that continues the story we are running on the previous weekend.  Players don’t need to attend both weekends\, in fact\, the setting is designed with the assumption that many players will attend this weekend only and not the other.  New players can get training here as well.  Players are also welcome to come and just play monsters and other roles the GM assigns to them (provided they have been trained) at no cost.  Playing a character in this league is what players pay for.  Note: Christopher Melville does not attend this event.  It is run by James only.

If you question your health or your child’s health in any way\, please do not come in.  Safety is first and foremost.. \n\n\n\n2.               Parents and Students Responsibilities: the following items are needed for each student to have at the camp for their personal use.  It is the responsibility of the parents and students to make sure these items are bought every day \n\n\n\n Bag or Box Lunch (since some students cannot leave the campus\, they must bring enough food for themselves to be comfortable all day long) \n\n\n\n Fork Friendly Foods (we want to discourage any students from eating foods with their hands at camp.  If possible\, please send food that allows your child to eat with a fork\, or is wrapped in such a way as to allow them to not need to touch it to eat it). \n\n\n\nDrinking Water (students will not have access to drinking fountains or other drinking water on site\, so they must bring enough water for them to be comfortable all day long in changeable weather). \n\n\n\nSunscreen or Hats as needed (since it can be quite hot at times\, and players will also be wearing masks and gloves\, hats that keep off the sun and/or sunscreen that they can use are needed). \n\n\n\nEmergency First Aid Card:  Each student should bring a card with their emergency contact number\, and any prudent health issues\, such as allergies\, etc. clearly printed on it\, to be turned in to Christopher’s Box at the start of the camp\, in case of emergencies. \n\n\n\nBackpack or Bag for all the above items:  Since students need more personal items than usual\, providing something with their name on it that can contain all these items is a necessity.

If you question your health or your child’s health in any way\, please do not come in.  Safety is first and foremost.. \n\n\n\n2.               Parents and Students Responsibilities: the following items are needed for each student to have at the camp for their personal use.  It is the responsibility of the parents and students to make sure these items are bought every day \n\n\n\n Bag or Box Lunch (since some students cannot leave the campus\, they must bring enough food for themselves to be comfortable all day long) \n\n\n\n Fork Friendly Foods (we want to discourage any students from eating foods with their hands at camp.  If possible\, please send food that allows your child to eat with a fork\, or is wrapped in such a way as to allow them to not need to touch it to eat it). \n\n\n\nDrinking Water (students will not have access to drinking fountains or other drinking water on site\, so they must bring enough water for them to be comfortable all day long in changeable weather). \n\n\n\nSunscreen or Hats as needed (since it can be quite hot at times\, and players will also be wearing masks and gloves\, hats that keep off the sun and/or sunscreen that they can use are needed). \n\n\n\nEmergency First Aid Card:  Each student should bring a card with their emergency contact number\, and any prudent health issues\, such as allergies\, etc. clearly printed on it\, to be turned in to Christopher’s Box at the start of the camp\, in case of emergencies. \n\n\n\nBackpack or Bag for all the above items:  Since students need more personal items than usual\, providing something with their name on it that can contain all these items is a necessity.

SUMMARY:NEW!  Marin League
DESCRIPTION:What is Fanwar LARP? \n\n\n\nIn Live Action Role Playing (LARP)\, players pretend to be someone else\, living in a different time or place\, and acting out events that might happen in that world. Many of these games involve battles\, and so LARPers use safe\, padded props that look like weapons to act out the combat. Unlike in a play where everyone has certain lines to say and the story is set\, in LARP\, the players each act out a certain person and make their own decisions for that person as the game evolves.Live Action Role Playing is a combination of sports\, drama\, and table-top role playing games. It has many forms and settings all over the world\, and has been a popular pastime for kids and adults for generations. Every child who plays at pretend has done LARP\, although they didn’t know they were doing it. We are not the creators of LARP\, but rather\, those keeping the tradition of imaginative play alive in our culture.Our LARP is specifically medieval fantasy based\, with swords\, spells\, and dragons\, but many other settings exist with other LARP groups and players. We have created a set of rules to keep everyone playing safely\, fairly\, and focused. That is what the FanWar LARP Rule Book is for. Our game has been continuously added onto by all the players\, so that over time it has stayed fresh and exciting. The game world we use has also been affected by hundreds of players over time\, so when you step into our story\, you are entering a long history of adventures\, mysteries and battles!All the steps to learning to play the game have been clearly organized for you in the rule book\, from the simplest and most important in the front\, to the very complex and rare in the back. The book is broken up into chapters based on how complex of a game you are involved in. Simple battles can be done using just the first Chapters. More complex stories can be told using character creation rules\, and the most complex of adventures can be taken on using the entire set.Welcome to our game. We love what we do\, and hope you enjoy it as well.“All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.” \n\n\n\n\nCarl Jung\n\n\n\n\nVideos \n\n\n\nThe Regulars LARPing (SF Chronicle)-  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe First Five Rules-  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArmor Zones-  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColor Tags-  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n-Bonus Material- \n\n\n\nTEDx Talk on LARPing with Kids and Teens-  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFanwar LARP 2023 Rulebook-  \n\n\n\n\nhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1wSFFKj8Txkrl0q8N_dT2qBjGjatakYkC/view?usp=drivesdk\n\n\n\n\nInformation Sheet \n\n\n\nRegistration: New players can only join at the start of the month.  All families must pre-register for this event.

If you question your health or your child’s health in any way\, please do not come in.  Safety is first and foremost.. \n\n\n\n2.               Parents and Students Responsibilities: the following items are needed for each student to have at the camp for their personal use.  It is the responsibility of the parents and students to make sure these items are bought every day \n\n\n\n Bag or Box Lunch (since some students cannot leave the campus\, they must bring enough food for themselves to be comfortable all day long) \n\n\n\n Fork Friendly Foods (we want to discourage any students from eating foods with their hands at camp.  If possible\, please send food that allows your child to eat with a fork\, or is wrapped in such a way as to allow them to not need to touch it to eat it). \n\n\n\nDrinking Water (students will not have access to drinking fountains or other drinking water on site\, so they must bring enough water for them to be comfortable all day long in changeable weather). \n\n\n\nSunscreen or Hats as needed (since it can be quite hot at times\, and players will also be wearing masks and gloves\, hats that keep off the sun and/or sunscreen that they can use are needed). \n\n\n\nEmergency First Aid Card:  Each student should bring a card with their emergency contact number\, and any prudent health issues\, such as allergies\, etc. clearly printed on it\, to be turned in to Christopher’s Box at the start of the camp\, in case of emergencies. \n\n\n\nBackpack or Bag for all the above items:  Since students need more personal items than usual\, providing something with their name on it that can contain all these items is a necessity.

SUMMARY:Zephandria Sebastopol Weekend League
DESCRIPTION:Once a players has attended other events and become familiar with the core rules\, they can attend this event.  We do not train brand new players or players who are not playing in other leagues at this event\, so only come to this day if you already have the basic rules down\, have been to a full summer camp\, or are also enrolled in a weekly league.  This storyline takes place in a distant part of the game world inaccessible to other leagues and thus the events that happen on this day and the characters we play cannot interact with other league days.  Characters made in other leagues cannot play in this setting\, and only the characters we make here are available.  There are many more unknown creatures\, items\, and lore for this setting\, which also uses it’s own pantheon of deities and has a different creation mythos.  This league is for kids who want to explore into a more advanced mode of the game\, but only requires a basic understanding of the game rules\, skills\, and spells\, for players to join.

Understands and acknowledges that the Organizer does not carry or maintain health\, medical or disability insurance coverage for the undersigned and therefore agrees to assume responsibility for such insurance coverage on the undersigned. 4. Agrees that in the event that any provision of this Release and Indemnity is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction\, the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision will not affect the remaining provisions of this Release and Indemnity which shall continue to be enforceable. I understand that the undersigned will be held to a standard of conduct during this event. Failure to abide by safety rules will result in a warning or expulsion from the event.

I also understand that the undersigned may use and be hit by a foam weapon of some sort by other participants and/or staff during this event.

Name(s) of Participant(s) _____________________________ \n\n\n\nSignature(s) of Participant(s)____________________________  \n\n\n\nName of Parent/Guardian of Participant(s)_____________________________  \n\n\n\nSignature of Parent/Guardian of Participant(s)____________________________  \n\n\n\nFANWAR LARP DAY CAMP HEALTH SAFETY PROCEDURES FOR 2022-23 \n\n\n\nNote:  We will comply with the County Health Orders for whatever county we are currently operating in. \n\n\n\nLARP Camps Procedures \n\n\n\nWildfire Smoke Impact Prep. and Camp Plans: This year is on track to be one of the worst for wildfires ever\, and that is saying a lot given how bad last year was.  We are already well ahead of acreage burned for this time of year\, and we are in a drought\, combined with now seeing heat domes that break high temperature records becoming a regular part of the season.  It is not a matter of if we will have smoke impacts\, but when.  Thus\, I am laying out the plans for what we will do if smoke impacts out summer camps or fall events. \n\n\n\n(A) Continue as Planned (Green-Yellow): I mostly base my decisions to do LARP on a given day on the Air Quality predictions.  If they are in the green (0-50 ppm of 2.5 particulate) or yellow (50-100)\, we are good to go.  If they are forecast for Orange (100-150) then it has to do with amount of time it is forecast to cross that line.  If its only going to hit 150 or so\, for an hour or two\, we are fine\, but all day well above 150 means we have to adjust our event (see below). \n\n\n\n(B) Reduce Activities (Orange PPM 2.5 above 100-150): At these levels we\, we will adjust our day and do less running around.  We will select more relaxed and discussion based missions.  If this level of smoke combines with high temperatures\, we may cancel\, as masks\, smoke\, and heat doesn’t combine well.  Usually we will first setup cooling stations where students can get icepacks and relax as needed. \n\n\n\n(C) Cancel Activities or Go Online (Red PPM 2.5 above 150-200):  If the smoke levels approach 200 PPM for the majority of the event\, we will cancel the event or (if it is a Summer Camp) move the event online for that day\, checking back in the next day to see if the air is better.  Normally we might move indoors in a situation like this\, but with COVID\, this is a worse option in our case. \n\n\n\n(D) Change Locations: If levels are forecast to be above 200 PPM for an extended period of time\, we will move the camp to a location forecast to have better air (closer to the coast for example)\, and hold the remainder of the camp or weeks events there instead of the usual location. \n\n\n\n(E) Online if Shelter In Place: If all of the above fails\, we will then go back to online LARP\, but only if the entire region is inundated with smoke for the foreseeable future. \n\n\n\nDue to the increased need for safety procedures\, we must follow these guidelines below if we plan to attend any LARP camps.  These guidelines are based on state and county laws and keep us all safe and able to enjoy this outdoor experience.  If these guidelines are not being followed\, it jeopardizes the entire camp\, and we may lose our opportunity to attend the camps all together\, or worse\, may shut down the entire camp\, so please take these measures very seriously. \n\n\n\n1.                Parent Responsibilities (these are the pieces that need to be attended to by each family to ensure they are doing their part to protect others at the camp). \n\n\n\nProtocols for attending camps \n\n\n\n\nBefore the camp starts\, you need to contact me if any of the following is true.-Have you or your child had a fever in the last 24 hours of 100°F or above?-Do you or your child now\, or have recently had\, any respiratory or flu symptoms\, sore throat\, or shortness of breath?\n\n\n\n\nIf any of the above applies\, we need to reschedule your camp. If you question your health or your child’s health in any way\, please do not come in.  Safety is first and foremost.. \n\n\n\n2.               Parents and Students Responsibilities: the following items are needed for each student to have at the camp for their personal use.  It is the responsibility of the parents and students to make sure these items are bought every day \n\n\n\n Bag or Box Lunch (since some students cannot leave the campus\, they must bring enough food for themselves to be comfortable all day long) \n\n\n\n Fork Friendly Foods (we want to discourage any students from eating foods with their hands at camp.  If possible\, please send food that allows your child to eat with a fork\, or is wrapped in such a way as to allow them to not need to touch it to eat it). \n\n\n\nDrinking Water (students will not have access to drinking fountains or other drinking water on site\, so they must bring enough water for them to be comfortable all day long in changeable weather). \n\n\n\nSunscreen or Hats as needed (since it can be quite hot at times\, and players will also be wearing masks and gloves\, hats that keep off the sun and/or sunscreen that they can use are needed). \n\n\n\nEmergency First Aid Card:  Each student should bring a card with their emergency contact number\, and any prudent health issues\, such as allergies\, etc. clearly printed on it\, to be turned in to Christopher’s Box at the start of the camp\, in case of emergencies. \n\n\n\nBackpack or Bag for all the above items:  Since students need more personal items than usual\, providing something with their name on it that can contain all these items is a necessity.
