Adventures in Cardboard

Adventures in Cardboard offers community-oriented, creative play that is both theatrical and tactically competitive. The program facilitates activities that demand the use of legs and feet as much as hands and head, with artist-instructors who seek to unleash a zeal for creative role-playing. Adventures in Cardboard has a track record of inspiring children to organize their own group summer adventures at home with little more than their combined imagination, a thicket of trees, and maybe a scrap of cardboard. Adventures in Cardboard no longer schedules birthday parties or school residencies.

Adventures in Cardboard seeks to re-inspire community-oriented, creative play in beautiful wild places. Its mission emphasizes “wonder” as the preferred path to igniting a passion for design, construction, and playful exploration of the natural world. Most of its post-consumer cardboard is generously supplied by unspecified sources.
