Magic: The Gathering Winter Veteran Camp

About this experience

These one-day camps (one for veterans and one for beginners) provide campers with many of the gaming supplies they need to organize and care for their collections, lessons and strategies targeted to their experience level, and of course plenty of chances to crack open packs and play Magic with fresh, new cards!

Gamers of all levels are welcome to either camp! If your family's holiday schedule prevents your child from attending the camp that best matches their experience level, no problem! Camps are for kids ages 9 to 16.

The Veterans Camp (Friday, January 3rd) is best for kids who know the basics and have played many games of Magic, but who are ready to take their skills to the next level. Campers will focus on identifying the proper balance of creatures, lands, removal, and bomb cards in a draft or sealed deck environment, how to identify and rank cards based on their casting cost, power, and toughness, the importance of evasive creatures, timing of combat tricks, tempo, and mana curve, and how to identify and use card advantage when building decks.

Campers will receive: 
6x Foundations Play Boosters for a sealed event
6x Jumpstart 2025 packs
3x MH3 Play Boosters for a draft. 
Deck boxes and sleeves
Dice 
BCW 1600ct storage box 
Pizza!

Camps are $175 for a day of fun and Magic (campers will receive nearly that much in retail value of cards and supplies), including a complimentary pizza lunch (Please put in the notes if there are any allergies to be aware of. Lunch will be at 1pm). Campers who must leave early will still receive all the goodies!

Camps meet from 11:30am to 6pm.

This Holiday Magic Camp will be led by certified Level 2 Magic: the Gathering Judge John Trout. In addition to more than a decade of judging experience, John has also sponsored a Magic: the Gathering Club at Lakehill Preparatory School for the past 21 years, where he is currently a Middle School teacher and the Head of Lower School.
