Gaming Together

Gaming Together offers after-school gaming groups, summer camps, and school break camps. The classic board game Dungeons & Dragons is our main activity: kids each play a fantasy, Lord-of-the-Rings style hero they create, and they work together as a group to make decisions, defeat monsters, solve puzzles, and finish quests. Our Story Tellers (STs) are young adults with experience running D&D and a commitment to mentoring and working positively with kids, trained by our founder in her unique way of supporting growth and development. Director Honor Doherty provides mentoring and supervision for social-emotional guidance as needed. Since every student—and Story Teller—is working on something, together we create an accepting and supportive space for growth. Most importantly, this is a skills-development program that your student will want to go to—and won’t be embarrassed by. Gaming is cool! Gaming Together activities are more than just fun! Cooperative gaming teaches:* teamwork,* communication skills,* STEM skills,* imagination,* leadership,* problem-solving,* coping skills,* perspective-taking,* and more. Dungeons & Dragons is great, creative fun—and has been shown to develop social skills, confidence, self-regulation, and resilience. Through gaming, participants connect to others through a shared interest.
