Release and forever discharge the Organizer and its employees\, officers\, directors\, shareholders\, affiliates\, agents\, representatives\, successors and assigns (collectively the “Releasees”) of and from all claims\, demands\, damages\, costs\, expenses\, actions and causes of action (collectively the “Claims”) in respect of death\, injury\, loss or damage to myself or property howsoever caused\, arising or to arise by reason of or during my participation and/or involvement in the Activity\, and notwithstanding that any Claim may have been contributed to or occasioned by the negligence of any of the Releasees. 2. Indemnify and save harmless the Releasees from and against any and all liability incurred by any or all of them arising as a result of or in any way connected to my participation in the Activity. 3. 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 these events may include special effects and costuming that is considered frightening to some children. 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. I understand/have helped the undersigned to understand that I/they may decline to participate in any part of the event. I give MUSE and FANWAR LARP permission and consent for photos/videos to be taken of the undersigned during activities\, and for these to be used for promotions in brochures\, press releases\, and other media. By signing up the undersigned for this event\, I acknowledge and understand that the participant will be voluntarily engaging in activities that may involve contact and the risk of serious injury\, permanent disability\, or death\, and may cause severe social or economic losses due to not only the participant’s actions\, inactions\, or negligence\, but also to the action\, inactions\, or negligence of others or conditions of the premises or of any equipment used. Further\, I agree that I will not\, nor will anyone acting on my behalf claiming by or through me\, bring or maintain any suit in Court to assert any claim against MUSE\, FANWAR LARP and/or any instructors/assistant instructors/staff for any claim that I might have arising out of the undersigned participation in any activities performed by\, directed by\, or endorsed by MUSE\, FANWAR LARP or the instructors/assistant instructors. I agree to pay for any and all expenses (including but not limited to any medical expenses) that might relate to the participant’s care and treatment. \n\n\n\nI HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE READING\, UNDERSTANDING\, AND AGREEING WITH THE FOREGOING. 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.

SUMMARY:CANCELD due to Atmospheric River Event! 2/4/24 - Weekend League (All Skill Levels)
DESCRIPTION:Hello All Palo Alto Players and Parents\, \n\n\n\nAnother atmospheric river event is forecast to hit an an hour or so\, and will continue through tomorrow. The forecast is for major river flooding in the Palo Alto region\, as well as all day rain with 30mph winds and thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon. We cannot do a LARP event in these conditions\, nor would it be safe to travel to the event. We will have to cancel. Luckily\, the weather is looking more clear next week\, and future events are less likely to get rained out. Hope to see you all soon. I have attached the forecast for Palo Alto so you can see the predictions. It’s going to be a mess. \n\n\n\nAll my best\,Christopher MelvilleDirector FANWAR LARPwww.fanwar.com \n\n\n\nMorning (character maintenance event) 10:30am-12:30pm).  This event is the part of the program where players can make and maintain their characters.  If you pay for this one event\, you can play your character at any of the upcoming weekend leagues for free (including the afternoon of this same day).  If you do not pay for this event\, events are still free\, but you only play GM assigned roles and must already know the rules.  New players can only join during this Character Maintenance Event (best to arrive early).

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.

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 SUMMER 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\n-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.

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: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.

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:CANCELD due to Rain! 2/14/24 Wednesday League (Palo Alto)
DESCRIPTION:Fanwar Weekly Leagues \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHello All Palo Alto LARP Parents and Players\, \n\n\n\nUnfortunately the forecast hasn’t changed overnight. The rain is predicted to begin around noon and then become a steady rain all afternoon and into the night.  We will have to cancel today unfortunately.  We  don’t always cancel for rain\, given that if the amount of rain is low and it isn’t heavy\, we can use shelters and tents\, but this prediction is for heavy rain. The timing of these storms is really not giving us a break.  I hope to see you all next week! \n\n\n\nAll my best\,Christopher MelvilleDirector FANWAR LARPwww.fanwar.com \n\n\n\nHello All Palo Alto LARP Parents and Players\, \n\n\n\nAnother storm system is forecast to hit the area tomorrow. While the morning should be dry\, and the rain totals aren’t super high\, and the winds are more mild\, the projections right now are that all the rain will dump right during LARP\, and render the afternoon into the evening miserable. Given that I have seen these projections change dramatically overnight\, I am not going to cancel completely yet. I am going to make the final call in the morning\, but so far\, it isn’t looking good. Likely we will not be able to play in those conditions. \n\n\n\nAll my best\,Christopher MelvilleDirector FANWAR LARPwww.fanwar.com \n\n\n\n(Wednesday Palo Alto–2022-23) \n\n\n\nHours 1-3pm (free!) & 4-5 (Character maintenance) 5-6:30pm (free!) \n\n\n\nSIGN UP FORM HERE! \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 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.

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 agree to pay for any and all expenses (including but not limited to any medical expenses) that might relate to the participant’s care and treatment. \n\n\n\nI HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE READING\, UNDERSTANDING\, AND AGREEING WITH THE FOREGOING. 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.

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: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.

SUMMARY:CANCELED Due to Rain! 2/20/24- Marin League
DESCRIPTION:Hello all Tuesday League Parents and Players\, \n\n\n\nI’ve been watching the weather\, hoping for a break in the rain for tomorrow afternoon\, but it doesn’t look like we will get so lucky.  The current forecasts all put heavy rain for most of tomorrow and also during our 4-7pm timeslot.  Thus\, I am going to cancel the event\, given that there are multiple weather hazards posted and numerous flood threats in the area (Hal Brown Park is on the river as well).  I’ll see you all next week! \n\n\n\nChristopher MelvilleDirector FANWAR LARPwww.fanwar.com \n\n\n\nWhat 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.

TOTAL: $330. \n\n\n\nLocation: The camp is being held at Hal Brown Park at Creekside in Kentfield (Larkspur/Corte Madera area). \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 Fridayand 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\nPhysical Activity Release Live Action Role Play (LARP) (the “Activity”) IN CONSIDERATION OF being permitted to participate in the Activity\, the undersigned\, on behalf of myself and my heirs\, executors\, administrators and assigns\, hereby: 1.

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:CANCELED!  Heavy Rain - 2/29/24 - Thursday League (Sebastopol)
DESCRIPTION:Hello All Thursday League Players and Parents\, \n\n\n\nI’ve been watching the weather forecasts for days now and looking at hours updates all day. There was a chance that there was going to be lighter rain tomorrow from 4-7pm which meant we might have been able to do a half day at the park. But as I have checked more and more weather models\, they now conflict and put the heavy rain all afternoon. I debated still trying to do our festival event somehow\, perhaps at a different location\, but it’s only an hour long\, and indoor events for 35 kids are not well received unless we reserved a space. I don’t like the idea of trying to do our festival in the tents in the mud\, so we are going to skip tomorrow and do the festival event next week. Sorry we will not get to LARP tomorrow\, but predications are pretty nasty and cold. See you all next week! \n\n\n\nChristopher MelvilleDirector FANWAR LARPwww.fanwar.com \n\n\n\nFanwar Weekly Leagues \n\n\n\n(Thursday Sebastopol–2022-2023) \n\n\n\nHours 1-3pm & 4-6:30pm \n\n\n\nSIGN UP FORM HERE! \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. There are a limited number of spaces available. Registration and payment are required to save your spot. To register fill out registration form and e-mail to christophermelville@fanwar.com or turn in to Christopher Melville at a Fanwar event. Payment may be given to Christopher at a Fanwar event\, sent via PayPal at the above email address\, or sent in the mail (PO BOX 149\, Graton CA 95444).  Make checks payable to Christopher Melville or Fanwar LARP and please write your child’s name on the check or payment memo as well. \n\n\n\nReminder: Because this event is during the week\, parents are not required onsite\, provided you have emergency contacts on file with the organizer and your child does not pose a significant risk to the flow\, safety\, or management of the event.  All children must demonstrate that they are responsible and cooperative and cannot leave the premises for the duration of the camp hours without express written permission (see below). \n\n\n\nCost: Players sign up a season of play.  They must pay for the entire season of play (Fall\, Winter\, or Spring etc.) on the first event of the season (unless they make other arrangements).  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. 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 Willard Libby Park in Sebastopol on the south side at the Gazebo. \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 Thursday 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. \n\n\n\nSIGN 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 no longer offer Weekly Leagues on a drop in basis\, or billed daily.  You may attend one or both sessions of the day for this cost (2 hours or all 6 hours\, one flat rate). \n\n\n\n[ ] Fall Thursday Season Pass: (Aug) 24\, 31 (Sept) 7\,14\,21\,28 (Oct) 5\,12\,19\,26 (Nov) 2\,9\,16\, \n\n\n\nCost: $390.

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.
