We believe in learning outside the box. Classroom environments can be limiting and boring for some students. Becoming a vibrant contributing adult in our society takes more than just completing a curriculum and passing tests. Sometimes, you need to learn outside the box! Abantey, the Roleplay Workshop, is dedicated to providing the best educational enrichment possible. We've been providing a fun and safe environment in the San Francisco Bay Area to help motivate and enrich the minds of today's youth - ages 10 and up, since 1989! Abantey is an interactive storytelling game...More

My twelve-year-old son has been "doing" Abantey after school and on school holidays for a couple of years now. He loves it! He fantasizes about the adventures all week in anticipation of the next session. A boy who "hates" teachers, he idolizes the camp director, Becky, despite the disciplined behavior she expects of her charges. I think this program appeals to kids who like video games, as well as imaginary adventures.
My son has attended The Role Play Workshop (Abantey) for the last 2 1/2 years, since he was 10, and absolutely LOVES it. He goes as many weeks in the summer as he can and also on Saturdays and holidays during the school year. It is a truly a unique and creative camnp - which is not captured by the rather serious name of "Role Play Workshop" and I just feel so fortunate that it is practically in our backyard. If your child likes imaginative play, and/or likes to make up games s/he will really like this. The kids create their own characters and go on missions in a wholly created, very imaginative world. And it's all done with an aim to emphasizing positive values and problem solving. Math and other skills are slipped in too. I agree with another reviewer that Becky, the long-time director, is brilliant with kids and teenagers. The kids love and respect her. I can't say enough good things about this camp. During the summer, the kids also go to the park at lunch and play ultimate frisbee so there is also time for running around.
Your kids will love creating characters, going on adventures and living in a fun new world-- all the while learning how to strategize, work in a group and solve problems. My boys continue at home to create characters and talk about the world of Abantey. Better than any video game.
My boys *love* Abantey. They have been attending the Saturday sessions for several years now and eagerly look forward to each meeting. They have both learned a lot (whether they know it or not) about being a part of a group and working together towards a common goal. I *highly* recommend Becky and The Roleplay Workshop team.
