Enter a world of fantasy and intrigue!
Dungeons & Dragons is a structured table-top, fantasy role-playing game. Players work together to overcome challenges with quick thinking, imagination, strategic planning, problem-solving, and teamwork.
Led by a Dungeon Master, the group meets online via Zoom to go on various adventures. Through gameplay, participants develop communication & collaboration skills, emotional resilience, and creativity.
Program delivery changes from season to season. While the program is delivered primarily online in a beginner-friendly setting, some seasons may feature in-person and/or intermediate offerings.
Please check the program guide or registration system for the most up-to-date details.

Let us know how to best include you.
Our Virtual Dungeons and Dragons program is led by two staff (a Dungeon Master and an additional staff member) via Zoom.
They are responsible for ensuring that all participants are welcomed, accepted, and supported.
Due to the online nature of the Virtual Dungeons & Dragons program, parents/guardians or personal support workers/companions are welcome to provide additional guidance from home.
When Dungeons & Dragons is offered in-person (varies from season-to-season), it is typically led by 3-4 staff (a Dungeon Master and 1-2 additional staff).
Let us know how we can best support you!
We recognize that every participant is unique and support needs can vary greatly.
Participants or parents/guardians are asked to provide information about support needs, preferences, and abilities through a questionnaire during program registration.*
Our staff review all participants’ questionnaire submissions to ensure that they understand each individual’s unique needs.
And don’t hesitate to speak directly with staff about support needs and preferences during the program.
*Be sure to include if you anticipate receiving any personal, in-person support from a parent, guardian, support worker, or companion at home when you are participating in our virtual programs.
