"Smaug's Jewels is the most awesome game in the universe! Elbow Tag and British Bulldog are really good, too."
~John Small, junior, Mohawk Trails Regional High School, Buckland MA
"I really liked all the cool games TREVOR played with us. It was FUN that I could play games that didn't matter how good I was. I liked it that there was lots of variety and we played different games every week instead of the same ones over and over again. This class was totally rad! I liked the ones that we were all doing the same thing together the most. Oh, and Smaug's Jewels, of course!"
~Carrie Wiley, Mohawk Trail Regional High School, Buckland MA

a group of parents if the "outside people" doing summer camp residencies was
worth it. Other parents instantly agreed.
