Embark on an epic adventure!

STEP 1: IS THIS A GOOD MATCH?

WHY:A good fit makes all the difference. We want to be upfront about what this adventure is—and isn’t—so you can decide if it’s right for you. Please note we have a no-refund policy, especially once the adventure begins. Below are two lists.

Thriving Indicators
If you are someone who:
  • loves the idea of designing, and pretending to be that character for the entire time aka LARPing.
  • loves the concept of going on cooperative adventures and having numerous options to explore in a sandbox environment
  • enjoys solving mysteries and finding clues
  • loves using their imagination
  • tolerates large groups that can get loud
  • follows instructions and rules consistently
  • engages independently in good hygiene/self-care practices with little to no reminders.
Then you are in the right place! Please proceed to Step 2.
May Struggle Indicators

This doesn’t mean an automatic rejection — please contact us to discuss before submitting an RSVP ticket. If you are someone who:
  • dislikes using your imagination and constantly pretending
  • dislikes following rules and instructions from authority figures
  • struggles with high temperatures (the site has shade and fans, but no AC) and prefer being indoors or sedentary. You will want to be able to walk up to three miles daily over uneven terrain (including hills and rocks) in high heat.
  • consistently struggles with self-control/managing frustrations, or is prone to multiple emotional outbursts within a two week period
  • needs constant reminders regarding good hygiene and self-care practices
  • dislikes being around others, staying in a group, or being away from home/technology
  • struggles with harmful behaviors (e.g., self-harm, suicidal ideation, eating disorders) within the months leading up to camp. This adventure, while enriching, can sometimes unintentionally heighten stress levels and be triggering in ways that may hinder any recovery progress achieved thus far. We want nothing more for you to be safe and happy. It is not a matter if you come, rather when. Please reach out to our camp director to discuss things further. We also have resources available if desired and can help connect you to those resources.
  • experiences a sleepwalking incident in the past six months. If you have a sleepwalking incident in the past year, please notify the camp director. You will need to have your physician sign off on our sleepwalking care form.
This program is likely not the best fit for you at this time. Please reach out to our camp director to discuss things further. Worse comes to worse, she can recommend some alternatives camps for this summer and we can brainstorm about future years.

Benefits of Our System:

  • The process removes uncertainty. At other camps, individuals may try for years to get in without success. Our tier system eliminates the uncertainty of "if" and morphs it into a "when."

  • RSVPing is free. (Payment is only required if you are awarded a slot. Individuals are prompted to pay under Step 3.)

  • RSVPing is fast. It will take you less than 3 minutes. You can cancel your RSVP at any time by emailing trefoilacademy@gmail.com.

  • Respects your time. You no longer have to rush when completing camp registration forms. We understand that guardians have busy schedules. Our system provides two weeks of breathing room, so you don’t have to rush filling out forms and gathering records that are crucial for us to provide the best care for your adventurer. Furthermore, it limits what you have to complete to what is absolutely needed.

Step 2 - Temporarily RSVP Your Slot :
Wish to be notified when the RSVP ticket system opens?

Step 3 - Receive Confirmation:

You will receive an email from trefoilacademy@gmail.com letting you know that you have been awarded a temporary slot and what your student ID number is. You will also receive a link to the Adventurer’s Compendium.

Adventurer’s Compendium will contain a link to:

  • all of the forms (e.g. registration, post enrollment)

  • important documents (e.g. packing list, orientation packet, grimoire)

  • specific information associated with you (e.g. student tower type, student tower assignment, arrival and departure times, dorm faculty, elective assignments). You and your family will be able to look this up by the student ID number.

IMPORTANT: You will then have two weeks to complete your registration and pay under Step 3. Failure to complete your registration will result in losing your temporary slot. You may still seek to enroll again; however, it will be a first come, first serve basis.

To complete the registration process, the following forms will need to be completed.

Step 4 - Complete Your Registration

Payment will be collected through our website.
