SUMMER SESSIONS Dungeons and Dragons Social Skills Group

Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is a tabletop role-playing game that has been played since its inception in the 1970s. The goal of the game is to collaboratively tell a story that everyone gets to contribute to – there’s no winning or losing. As the story progresses, players must work together to defeat monsters, solve puzzles, and find treasure, while the Game Master (GM) acts as a referee/moderator and sets the scene for the players. If your 11-12 year-old child is imaginative, enjoys fantasy, and/or struggles with social skills, they may be a good fit for this group. Gained skills and more about the group:
