Masters of the Wild
Bring your inner ranger, druid of barbarian to life!
25 - 26 juli 2026.
What do you get when you let an ecologist with a passion for TTRPGs and the organizer of the premier TTRPG convention in the Netherlands brainstorm together?
Something unique. Something wild. Something legendary.
Queen Ann and Hiking Viking welcome you to Masters of the Wild – an adventurous weekend that connects the magic of role-playing with the power of nature. For two days, we will dive into stories, learn sword fighting, play by campfires, search for animals and their tracks, and explore ancient forests. You will sleep in a Stone Age hut under the stars. An experience you won't soon forget.
What can I expect?
Our adventure takes place at Swifterkamp in Flevoland, next to Lelystad Nature Park.
Archaeological Open-Air Museum: Swifterkamp. Our overnight accommodation is a reconstruction of a prehistoric village. Here, people live as they did in the New Stone Age, with farmhouses, hunter-gatherer huts, and fireplaces. We sleep in huts with straw mattresses, cook over an open fire, and imagine ourselves completely transported back in time for one weekend.
Have you ever come face to face with galloping Przewalski’s horses, imposing red deer, or a moose?
Lelystad Nature Park is home to animals you rarely see in the wild. We explore the park on foot, accompanied by our own Ranger / Druid, and discover the magic of a place where nature plays the leading role.
We keep our adventure small-scale to ensure we can fully enjoy the peace and nature. Therefore, the maximum number of participants is limited to 15. The trip will proceed with a minimum of 9 participants.

Een blik op onze eerdere edities
Ervaringen
Dit is wat eerdere deelnemers over het avontuur te zeggen hadden:
Deel je ervaring
- You will sleep in authentic Stone Age huts at the Swifterkamp Open Air Museum, right in the middle of nature. Think of sleeping on straw mattresses, the smell of wood, campfire sounds… and maybe even an owl in the distance.
- A good sleeping bag, pillow, warm clothing (layers!), toiletries, and a good mood. See the full packing list below.
- Yes! We cook together over an open fire. On Saturday there is a midday snack and dinner, and on Sunday a hearty breakfast with special tea. Do you have any dietary requirements or allergies? Please let us know when you register.
- No! Everything is accessible. We provide guidance and help you get started. Whether you are a veteran or playing for the first time: welcome!
- The weekend is active, but not a survival trek. You have plenty of moments of rest, mindful tea mornings, and the space to indicate what works for you in terms of stimulation and energy.
- Then we play in the huts or under the shelter, and we still go on an adventure. We are prepared, and as Masters of the Wild: rain is no reason to stay inside 😉
