Do I need a costume?
Yes, you will need a costume. We are aiming for a high immersion experience for everyone involved! However, as the game is set in 2007 this is not a difficult task when compared to fantasy costumes. We highly recommend going through old clothes lying around, or visiting your local thrift store.
What weapons are allowed at Camp Blackwater?
We allow latex or plasti-dipped and look realistic. We encourage more modern weapons, like bats, knives, hammers, etc. We do ask that fantasy weapons such as swords be kept to a minimum. This is a summer camp, so please refrain from any weapon that seems like it wouldn't be found in a camp setting. Additionally, we do allow blasters that shoot one bullet at a time. These may be official NERF or otherwise. Please check our rulebook to confirm your weapons fit these rules.
