12 YEARS
IN THE MAKING

2014

I had an idea to host a friendly game of capture the flag. The adventure, the teamwork, the thrill of it took me back to endless play and childhood summers, and I wanted to share that with my friends and community.

November

I planned it. Sent out invitations to a few friends at the time, and showed up on a brisk November Saturday morning... but only two people showed up. So no capture the flag. We grabbed BBQ instead and I put the idea away.

2026

Fast forward 12 years, I've built a beautiful community, and found myself yearning for more connection, more opportunity for play, and adventure. So here we are. A new tradition begins.
