Thanks to BoulderSource.com for a great article on our quests!

Here's an excerpt from the article (click here for the full article):

Usually if a Kraken is about to gobble you up, you’re pretty much a goner. Everybody knows there is little defense against a giant octopus-type tentacle-covered thing with a big mouth.
Not even a five-foot swasher helps.
It’s pretty hopeless. Unless you’re lucky enough to see a troll lurking nearby and you happen to know troll blood is explosive (from previous experience with trolls, of course). And—this is a big AND—you’re clever enough to convince the troll to, well, explode right then and there on your behalf.
Then, maybe you have a chance.
Fortunately for Adventure Quest Leader Katt’s group of six enthusiastic Questers, through their deft negotiations and strategic thinking, this particular troll did their bidding that brilliant June-in-Boulder morning and the entire group—even the troll—lived to solve another quest.
And so it goes, quest after quest, summer after summer, forRenaissance Adventures Director Mark Hoge’s merry band of Quest Leaders and Questers.
Questing Camp Rooted in Experiential Education
Hoge kicked-off his first summer of questing in 1995. Since then, thousands of lucky children ages 6-16 have banded together in teams of six or so to be heroes and adventurers in mythic quests each summer and in year-round events.
Now, Renaissance Adventures is a mainstay of Boulder summer camps—voted Best of the West by readers of local online publication Yellow Scene—and a leader in the growing enthusiasm for educationally focused Live Action Role Playing, aka LARPing.
