Enter into the unknowns and adventures of the deep woods game world. Second in our series of game camps for older campers, Advanced Otter Camp delves further into the essentials of good gaming:
a) There are two types of games, finite games and infinite games. Finite games are played for the purpose of winning and have a temporal end; infinite games are played for the purpose of continuing the play.
b) There is no finite game unless the players freely choose to play it.
c) No one can play who is forced to play; if you have to play you aren’t playing.
—from Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse
Games are our way to laugh with our bodies: running, jumping, sneaking, hiding, throwing, guessing, defending and attacking with joy. Advanced Otter Camp develops and refines the dynamics of team-play, deals with the specifics of strategies, investigates consensus building and cooperation, and engages people rather than create winners and losers.
Games and activities might include:
• Cosmic croquet
• Windigo 7
• Seven Swords and Six Feathers
• Big Boundaries Capture the Flag
• Scout Missions
