300 or so games in the lending library, two additional shelves upon which campers store their own games, and five days spent packed around a cluster of tables bending the mind and focusing the will on strategic victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What could this possibly mean???<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s Spring CamasCon of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Forty campers made their way into the mountains, bringing carloads of strategy board games with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No need to toil away at work, cook, clean, or even venture more than the few feet between the dinning area, gaming tables, and bathrooms!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

CamasCon is all about playing games, so so many games, meeting old friends and new, and gathering together to rejoice in being connected as followers of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course Van Helsing brought board-game-themed lessons for the chapel sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What? You don’t think The Man In Black has anything to do with the Bible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oh, you of little faith. Sit through just one chapel and you too will be quoting scripture in the voice of Vizzini! Whether you are looking for quirky Bible lessons,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

games with stuffed rats and teeny weeny cardboard cheeses,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

epic battles between armies of toothsome monsters,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

adventure on the high seas,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

tricky track-building travails, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

a word puzzle that inexplicably involves adorable plastic pickles,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

or just the simple pleasure of antagonizing a good friend,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

there’s something at CamasCon for every gamer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whether young<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

and exhausted,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

feisty and argumentative, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

or an experienced campaigner who is long in the tooth and just might have a gray hair or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to everyone who came and all those who worked behind the scenes to make Spring CamasCon a delightful experience for us all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
