POLICIES:Click here to see our full camp policies
ABOUT: This camp is aimed at storytellers, nerds, and gamers! Campers will explore all the elements of creating a card, board, or simple ttrpg. We’ll look at lots of rad, independent and DIY games, then bringing our own ideas to life. Campers can expect opportunities to make clay game pieces, zine rulebooks or gamebooks, cards, boards, and maybe even playmats!? There is no expectation to have a finished game at the end of the week (though it certainly could happen!), and campers are welcome to bring existing game projects or ideas to the table, or to come completely fresh!
INSTRUCTOR BIOS: Erika and daelyn met through Marrow PDX, and have known each other for almost a decade! Erika has previously taught ceramics and zine camps at ILYouth2, and daelyn has taught game design camps (among many others) at ILYouth2 and is also the director here. This is Erika and daelyn’s first time teaching a camp together collaboratively! They’re excited!
daelyn lambi (they/them) is a working artist, writer, educator, and youth advocate. Making and playing games is a significant part of their own creative practice, and they have made both digital and physical games. Their favorite games are ones that don’t require a lot of physical tools (like a zine and map, maybe some cards!) but still create entire worlds through player engagement.
Erika Rier (she her) is an interdisciplinary artist mostly focused these days on ceramics and art zines. Her work seems to change how feminine people are perceived in art and the world.
