Mountain Lions especially will enjoy more independent time, have a greater voice in choosing their own games and activities. The older group will also take more walking trips from camp, heading toward the Botanical Gardens to enjoy the wildlife or toward Montford park to play group games in a large field.

Magic: The Gathering

Magic: The Gathering is returning, back by popular demand! Odyssey is teaming up with local game store, The Gamer’s Haunt, for a fifth year to provide a safe place for kids to build and test their skills, make new friends, and have fun.

Magic: The Gathering is a camp designed for campers interested in the strategic trading card game Magic: The Gathering. Whether you are new to Magic: The Gathering, or a long-time player, Magic Camp has something for everyone. As a game, Magic helps players develop close reading skills, logical thinking, social skills, math skills and creativity. Campers in the beginner and intermediate groups will spend each morning at Gamer’s Haunt, then return to Odyssey in the afternoon for swimming and active play. The advanced group will spend the whole day at Gamers Haunt and will have pick up there.

This year we are offering three different Magic Camp experiences:

Week 1 (June 12th – 16th) is geared towards newer players aged 8-13. Campers will learn how to build a deck, draft, sideboard, and play strategically. The week will culminate in a Standard tournament in which players will compete for Magic The Gathering prizes such as a playmat, deck boxes, and sealed packs. Campers who attend one or more weeks will receive a Magic Camp t-shirt. $350/ week

Week 2 (June 19th -23rd) This week will be geared toward intermediate players, although it is open to anyone aged 8-13 and will focus primarily on the Commander and Pauper formats. Campers will learn how to build a 100 card commander deck and have the chance to try out older formats. In this week, every camper will get to build a new Commander deck as well as draft the Commander Legends set to help build their collection. $350/ week

Week 3 (June 26th -30th) will be for Advanced Magic the Gathering players focusing on deck building and advanced play strategies, including older formats like Modern, Legacy, and Commander. The advanced section is for campers aged 11-16 who have prior experience with playing Magic. $350/ week
