Outpost 379 in Sidleterra has
called for reinforcements...
Will you be one of
the Defenders to answer?
Will you be the one to
accept the mission,
end the onslaught of zombies,
and bring peace to the future
of this wounded land
and to her people striving for rebirth?
Take up your NERF® Blaster, load up your darts and your med kit,
and prepare to unlock the mystery protected by the undead.
But only if you survive!
Join us brave Defender.
Your adventure awaits you...

Welcome to Sidleterra!

Join us for an unforgettable adventure. Create your own character in an ongoing storyline that never repeats. Choose your special skills and defensive weapons. Decide what to do next when opportunity (or trouble) arises. Stand shoulder to shoulder with your fellow heroes as you fight the zombie invasion, solve ancient mysteries, defend the fragile land, and win long lost treasure. Forge your destiny, young Hero... your adventure awaits you!

Parents (and Campers): Your child or teen (Hero) will revel in adventure at our camps... and learn a thing to two in the process. Many of our activities are designed to promote education while campers strive to solve the mysteries before them. For example:

Campers learn basic first aid skills((comes in handy after a zombie attack)).

Campers learn how to plan to obtain objectives and reach long term goals (you can't win a battle without strategies and tactics).).

Campers learn about biology, environmental sciences and conservation (the Defenders are the guardians of the land of Sidleterra, their source of adventure, life and magic).

We have Archeologists on staff (no kidding!) who are resources for the young Defenders as they research the various creatures ((and zombies!)) and past technology ((powerful artifacts!)) from real world folklore and mythology.

Life skills are refined as campers learn how to work as a team (to infiltrate the zombie's lair), learn problem solving (riddles, puzzles and traps!) and experience the opportunity to actively practice important character traits (honor, courage and compassion).

Our NERF Day Camp is held at the Guard Up! Family Swordsmanship facility in Burlington, MA - located near the Burlington Mall. Our NERF Overnight and Quest Day Camp is held at East Boston Camps in Westford, MA. Our Overnight and Quest Campers eat in the dining hall and swim at our private beach (in between your skirmishes with zombies, that is).

With our 4:1 camper to staff ratio, our average staff age of 30, and our emphasis on safety, your Hero will have the summer of their life. And since many of our campers stay in touch throughout the year as they plan for the next summer's adventure, your Defender's allies can be lifelong friends (and allies!)

Where adventure, learning and friends await! (and zombies... don't forget the zombies...)
