Field log · spring 2026.

A few real moments from the months before summer opens. The pedagogy lives outside, with elders and with land — every photograph here is a future Unit waiting to be lived again.

Build the game with us.

Beyond the screen-free camp day, a parallel sync/async track for young coders, scribes, and storyworld-makers — co-developing the TEK8-powered coding + scribing game in partnership with TimeKnot Games & Media.

Co-development invitation · TimeKnot Games & Media × 7ABCs

Co-own the IP. Earn your seat at the table.

MCTopia is the new TEK8-powered coding + scribing game from the 7ABCs cooperative business association. Cohort participants are invited to co-develop the game — design, code, write, playtest — and earn the opportunity to co-own the IP as part of the global studies cooperative business network.

★ Camp days stay screen-free All screen-time work on MCTopia happens sync or async, independent of camp hours. The face-to-face Seattle camp day stays 100% screen-free — hands-on, outdoor, TTRPG-based. MCTopia is the year-round cooperative track that meets the same children where their digital craft lives.

Quick answers.

Can my child attend only some days?

Yes. Choose any combination of MON / TUE / WED / THU / FRI — or all five — on the enrollment form. Tuition adjusts to your day pattern.

What if we can't afford the listed tiers?

Choose the Scholarship tier on the enrollment form. Half of the seats are reserved at $0 for low-income and Indigenous families. We follow up with every scholarship applicant individually — no payment step required to enroll.

Is this drop-off or do I need to stay?

Drop-off for ages 8 and up — 10 am to 4 pm on attended days. Children under 8 are welcome but attend with a parent or guardian. The whole day is structured, instructor-led, and outdoor-rich when weather allows.

What about screen time?

Camp days are 100% screen-free — hands-on, outdoor, TTRPG-based. The MCTopia co-development track runs sync/async outside camp hours for any cohort participant who wants to help build the game.

What's included?

Lunch, snacks, all materials (carved stave, deck, books). Bring a water bottle, sun hat, layers, and closed-toe shoes. Full packing list comes with your enrollment confirmation.
