For the first time, Battlegrounds is partnering with veteran teacher and gamer Timothy Winkler to provide a five day long morning camp playing Magic the Gathering. Campers can expect a fun week collecting, trading and competing in the world’s most popular TCG.

Day 1: Campers new to MtG will learn the basics of the game and build their first deck using the new Jumpstart format. Any campers with experience playing will help teach newer players to build a group that can have fun playing and exploring the game for the rest of the week.

Days 2-4: Campers will learn more about strategies for deck building and receive new packs of cards to open and trade. They will then compete in a multi-day constructed event against each other.

Day 5: Campers will learn strategies for drafting and participate in a tournament against each other.

The camp aims to be between twelve to twenty campers who are rising six through eighth graders.

Campers start the week being presented with a starter deck made from the Magics Foundations Jumpstart release.
Additionally campers will receive a general starter kit of supplies to get them off started right to enjoy the game to its fullest such as sleeves a play mat.

As the week goes on, booster packs are given out (cost also included as part of the camp tuition) and a constructed tournament is run.

The week ends with a Friday draft tournament where players will receive 6 booster packs to forge a deck with their new found skills and play for prizes.

Each day the camp will start from 9-1:00 P.M. the store opens to the public at noon.

Campers will leave being a full fledge Magic the Gathering player and ready to take the fun into the future.
