Start and Lead a Weekly LARP Program in Your Community

Lead a structured, story-driven program where kids step into a world together, solve real challenges, and become part of something they look forward to every week.

Each story is shaped by the group itself – built from the characters and their choices.

The Beginning of Your Story

LARP for Kids™ is a structured, story-driven program for kids built around cooperation, leadership, and immersive play.

This is a guided experience where participants take part in an ongoing story shaped by their characters, choices, and group dynamic, solve problems together, and learn how to play, plan, adapt, succeed and lose as a group. Each group’s story is unique, built from the characters and backstories of the participants.

As an Operator, your role is to lead that experience within a system that has already been built and refined through real-world use as a certified Story Master™ within the LARP for Kids™ system.

Your Role as Operator

Operators run weekly groups and may choose to run camps or special events.

Weekly Groups

Consistent group of up to 12 participants
Ongoing storyline or campaign
Focus on group cohesion and development over time

Camps and Events

Short-term experiences
Faster-paced with clear structure and expectations

Both formats follow the same core principles: structured play, strong leadership, and cooperative eperience.

The structure is already in place so you can focus on running a strong, consistent program.

This Is a Leadership Role

This role requires consistency, preparation, and the ability to lead a weekly group.

Create and guide structured storylines
Lead groups of children
Maintain boundaries and expectations

Manage group dynamics and behavior
Follow the LARP for Kids™ system
Represent the program professionally

This is not a hands-off role.

Each Group's Story Is Not Pre-Written

Characters

Backstories

Group

Dynamics

Decisions Made

During Play

This allows each group to have a unique experience that evolves over time.

The system provides structure and guidance, but the story itself is shaped by you and your group.

Operators create and guide their own structured storylines based on their group, allowing each program to be locally shaped rather than centrally dictated.

Program Philosophy

LARP for Kids™ is built on a simple principle:

The experience only works if the group works.

Participants create characters that support a cooperative environment, as collaboration and teamwork are at the heart of the program. LARP for Kids™ does not allow character concepts that undermine group trust, such as betrayal, manipulation, bullying, etc. This keeps the experience stable, inclusive, and enjoyable for everyone involved.
