Wildwood Quest
journey into the heart of the forest
Summer 2025 dates will be announced in early January!
The Wildwood is a place well known for its tall trees, sparkling springs, lazy creek, raucous music, lively village, delightful stories, and bountiful opportunities for adventure. Inhabited by foxes, beavers, rabbits, skunks, crows, owls, frogs, and wrens, the Wildwood is a wondrous land.
Now of course most forests are full of animals, so what makes this one so special? If you've been here before, you'll know exactly why, and if you haven't, then listen close. You see, here in the Wildwood things are different. Rabbits sometimes speak in a language you understand. Otters may run an afternoon ferry to help folks cross the creek, owls might brew herbal teas, crows could try to barter their wares, and if you're lucky, a fox might invite you to their home in a hollow tree for afternoon tea. If this sounds like your kind of place, then the Wildwood is waiting for you!

What:
Wildwood Quest is a live action role play, guild-based journey where participants deepen their relationship with the natural world, learn skills, make crafts, stretch their imaginations, and star in a whimsical tale. The story of the Wildwood takes shape each day as extraordinary characters present themselves, offering challenges, teachings, and twists to the unfolding adventure.
Questers are sorted into guilds, based on their answers to a personality quiz, within which they will spend the first part of each day learning, playing, and creating. Guild focuses include: Scouting (stealth, archery and tracking), Healing (wild plants for food and medicine), Survival Skills (fishing, wild food gathering, fire tending), Bardic Arts (music, storytelling and trickery), and Making (art and handcraft with natural materials). The second part of each day is spent in small bands with members of the different guilds, completing challenges and meeting characters within the fantastical tale.
Story:
This summer will see the return of a much loved hero as we set out to complete an ancient quest once begun, but never finished. A surprise turn of events sets in motion powerful forces that Questers must work to counter by banding together and seeking enchanted gifts. New tribes of mysterious folk wait around the bend, and a city grows at the forest's edge. Will the campers be able to unite the rabbits across the realm and find the missing gifts? Join us this summer 2024 to find out!
