Squad → Missions → Story
On the first morning, every camper is sorted into a squad. They stay with that squad for the rest of the week (or the day, for single-day campers).
Each morning blends Nerf battles, squad build projects, and counselor-run missions. Squads earn points, build out their territory, and shape the Battlefield as the week goes on.
Competitive. Creative. Fair.
Everything happens outdoors at our Richmond camp location. All Nerf blasters, foam darts, team gear, and inflatable battle structures are provided.
The Story Evolves Every Day
Each morning begins with a new Battlefield Transmission. New missions are revealed. New challenges emerge.
Squads must adapt their strategy as the story unfolds throughout the week. The decisions your squad makes on Tuesday can influence what happens on Wednesday and Thursday.
Not three mornings of dodgeball. A three-day squad adventure.
What A Morning Looks Like
Active gameplay · squad strategy · creative battlefield-building
Team Huddle & Mission Briefing
Squad roll call, gear check, and the first transmission of the day. Counselors reveal the morning's objectives and any overnight battlefield changes.
Squad Planning Session
Sketch attack routes, assign roles (scout, defender, runner), and pick your squad's opening strategy before hitting the field.
Water & Cool Down Break
Hydration stations, shade rest, and cooldown before the next mission.
Nerf Battles & Battlefield Missions - Round 1
The first mission push. Territory captures, VIP escorts, and outbreak survival rounds. Rotating game modes keep every battle fresh.
Water & Cool Down Break
Refuel, rehydrate, and cool off in the shade before Round 2.
Build Challenges & Creative Projects

Advanced missions and squad challenges. Fort defense, control-point sieges, and the outbreak finale round.
Water & Cool Down Break
Final cooldown before the briefing and closing missions.
Nerf Battles & Battlefield Missions - Round 3
Mid-morning push. Squads run advanced missions - fort defense, control-point sieges, and rapid-fire skirmishes - putting their early-morning strategy to the test.
Water & Cool Down Break
Hydrate, regroup, and catch your breath before the next activity.
Squad Build Challenge - Round 2
Back to the workbench. Squads upgrade their forts, finish banners, or engineer new battlefield gear to carry into tomorrow's missions.
Final Water & Cool Down
Last hydration, gear return, squad debrief, and transition to parent pickup.
Your Squad Shapes The Battlefield
Battles are only part of the week. Squads also plan, design, and build - turning their corner of the Battlefield into something the other squads have to reckon with.
Everything a squad builds becomes part of future missions. Some projects defend territory. Some unlock advantages. Some become the focus of the next day's mission.
The Battlefield changes because of the squads inside it.
