3. Zombie Apocalypse Boot Camp
Perhaps you are looking for something special to do or maybe your older kids have a lot of energy and you want to take them somewhere extra interesting? No sweat — check out the unbelievable Zombie Apocalypse Boot Camp that is taking place in Wichita this summer.
In this unique boot camp game, you will find yourselves mid-apocalypse with no possibility of outside technology and none of the modern solutions we are accustomed to. Stores have been broken into and robbed and there is complete chaos. You will have no option but to learn archery, first aid, wild plant harvesting, and how to cook and fend for yourself in the wild. At the end of it all, you’ll be tested in a final exam to see whether you truly can live like a survivor.
The adventure takes place on Saturday, Aug. 3, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The cost is $20 for nonmembers and $15 for members, and you’ll enjoy lunch and a free T-shirt. Kids between the ages of 12 and 16 are welcome to come with a participating adult.
Wichita is all you thought it could be and so much more. From family fun with plentiful food and treats to innovative boot camps and shows, there is a variety to see and do. Take advantage of the fun this summer and visit a special event in Wichita.
