Welcome to Trefoil Academy!
Join us for our 15th year anniversary as we celebrate the magic,
mystery, and mayhem of this one-of-a-kind experience.
Due
to the degree of the immersive experience, it is strongly recommended
that you enjoy fantasy, solving mysteries, using your imagination to
make-believe, and going on dungeon crawls. This camp is a live-action
role playing (LARP) experience. With LARPing, participants physically
act and pretend to be their characters as they seek to achieve a
series of goals within a fictional setting represented by the real
world while make-believing with each other. Previous attendees have
likened this to a real-life video game and/or immersive movie.
During the Summer Session term, your actions and decisions throughout the day will directly influence your journey during the week as well as the story to come for years down the road. Think of it as the ultimate choose-your-own-adventure. The interactive world is brimming with adventures to be had, villains/monsters to be battled, and mysteries to be solved.
This camp is a plausible recreation in an alternative universe
rather than a straight reenactment from the books/movies. A defining
characteristic from the books/movies is the epic adventure that the
trio goes on. The adventure is full of mysteries, plot twists, epic
battles, and an ultimate showdown between good versus evil. That is
what you can expect from this camp in a magical universe. The reason
it is not a re-enactment is that it is hard to have a true adventure
when one already knows the outcome. We figure it was better to honor
by being inspired rather than straight copying.
This
year’s adventure:
Our story finds the academy in some
truly dire straits. We are being framed for a crime that they did not
commit. (No really. We are innocent. Trust us.) The International
Confederacy of Magery (ICM) is normally an honorable and respectable
organization. However, they are now threatening to rip up our
academy’s charter and disband us permanently if we do not return the
accuser’s stolen property, the Heru Cipher, by a certain deadline. To
make matters even worse, our accuser is our long-time nefarious
nemesis, the Westgaard Bloodline. They have wanted to see the academy
destroyed for quite some time.
Did a member of the
faculty go rogue? What really happened to the missing cipher? What is
really going on with the ICM? Furthermore, it has historically never
been a good idea to give the Westgaards something they were after . .
. but our charter is on the line. How are we going to figure our way
out of this one? The academy’s future lies in your hands. Are you up
to the task?
