Camp Fandom & A Sustainable Universe
Fandomite's common interests are often fueled by stories embodied in literature such as Percy Jackson and the Olympian Series, the Hunger Games, the Leviathan or media including BBC television series' Dr. Who and Sherlock,and other series such as Avatar the Last Airbender, and The Legend of Korra. Movies including Avatar and Inception also ignite Campers interests. We have designed Camp Demigod so that older children, ages 12-17 can enjoy multiple weeks with different themes and common core of STEM+ARTS+HUMANITIES+KINESTHETIC.
Science Fiction & Fantasy
|
Campers ages 12-17 palettes’ range from science fiction and fantasy, often referred to as speculative fiction, to steampunk where 21st century technologies are re-imagined in the 19th century. They are also passionate about quests and stories which allow them to take journeys through different cultures and times, and fields which define human origins, behavior and thought embodied in anthropology, archaeology, and ethnographics, to name a few.
Perhaps one of the most striking common threads our Campers share is that they have amazing imaginations which allow them to mash up several different themes, intertwine current and futurist thinking with Victorian and other historical settings and inspirationally fuse original ideas with those flowing from literature and media (Harry Potter, Dr. Who, Percy Jackson, Divergent, Inception, etc.). This provides a basis for infatiguable discussion and often a flow of expressive works in the form of improvization, creative writing, music, games and film, among others. These discussions and creative works often lead to a championing of unique experiences for which Camp Demigod serves as a crucible and catalyst. |
