@janetteb  Thank you!  We get kids who visit from all over the globe for our camp.  We pick them up at the Boston Airport and bring them to the sleepover camp, then return them at the end of the session for their flight home.

I was surprised by how many young kids (10 and 11 year olds) who know about Doctor Who.  It was great to have them all excited about learning from their hero… and the teachers who played the character showing the kids how to be a hero.

One thing I think this world can use more of is heroes. 🙂

Hey all!

For some reason, my posts were being marked as Spam, but Craig cleared that up for me.  Thank you, Craig!

Please check out our video about 8 posts up where we talk about The Doctor as a character at our educational summer camp and express our gratitude to the BBC for use of The Doctor.

Looking forward to another summer of adventure. 🙂

I just wanted to share our ”Thank You” video that we made for the BBC when they granted us permission to have The Doctor as a character at our Wizards & Warriors summer camp:

Our campers (we call them ”Heroes”) learned a great deal about science and other academics while fighting monsters with foam swords and solving mysteries.

As an aside, we were impressed by the number of kids who had never had an interest in Doctor Who until the end of the summer… and then they were asking all kinds of questions. Encouraging the future generations of Whovians! 

Thank you BBC!

Huge shout out to Rebecca Crockett for posting this about the BBC granting permission to The Story School to use The Doctor as one of the living characters at our interactive theatrical Summer Camp in 2014.

The Story School is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to using characters and creatures from literature, history, and media to teach young heroes about academics.  The Doctor will be an excellent focus for our upcoming interactive adventures… seeing as the Tardis has gone missing….

Hope to see some serious Doctor fans next summer!
