Campers will ride the Lowell School bus to a small stable in Lanham, MD, for professional instruction in grooming, tacking, and performance. Professional riders and a retired teacher will provide basic horse knowledge, forming a solid foundation for any riding discipline. Intermediate instruction is also provided for students with prior experience. Campers will leave for the stable mid-morning and return in time for our afternoon gatherings. Campers will be at Lowell for regular drop-off and pick-up each day.

Legends of Lowell is a three-week-per-session summer program that uses Dungeons & Dragons as a vehicle for literacy, leadership, STEAM, and social-emotional growth for upper elementary- and middle-school campers. Mornings are devoted to rich, story-driven tabletop gameplay; afternoons are split into two structured pathways—Ironthew Industries Certified Dungeon Masters (GM/leadership track) and Ironthew Industries Certified Artisans (STEAM/creative maker track).

Each three-week session culminates in a full-camp “Tim’s Tubular TPK” boss event (often featuring a large Tarrasque model or another named monster) and a parent showcase, which includes short gameplay demos run by youth GMs using set pieces created by the Artisans. The goal is to create a flagship Lowell program that feels fun and “campy,” while quietly delivering high-level outcomes in collaboration, problem-solving, creativity, and leadership.
