October is the time for football, carving pumpkins, corn
mazes, haunted houses, and zombie nerf camp. Wait, What? That’s right.
Zombie Nerf Camp. Wired.com featured this article about Monster-battling Summer Camps.
"There are a couple of camps that give your kids the chance to do a bit of Live Action Role-Playing (LARP), wrapping some traditional summer camp lessons in an unconventional way. Your kids can be wizards and warriors, fight off zombies, or even join the B.P.R.D. (Bureau of Paranormal Research and Development)." -Wired.com
On the list of monster-battling camps is Zombie Nerf Camp.
"Join us for an unforgettable adventure. Create our own character in an ongoing storyline that never repeats. Choose your special skills and your favorite NERF blaster. Decide what to do next when opportunity (or trouble) arises. Stand shoulder to shoulder with your fellow Defenders as you fight gruesome zombies, solve life threatening mysteries, protect the fragile land, and forage for supplies. Reclaim the destiny of the human race, Defender." -Zombiesummercamp.com
With the inevitable Zombie Apocolypse approaching, we are thinking this camp would provide our future defenders of America with some seriously valuable skills. But we just have one questions: Since when do Zombie’s yield
weapons and shoot back?

In other exciting news, we applied to our first grant! Keep your fingers crossed for us!
Also, if you have something nice to say about COFK, please tell the world by going to this website and writing us a review. It's like a TripAdvisor for Non-For-Profits. We would love to hear from you.
