I love living in the Northwest! We’re the home to famous and rising comic book creators and publishers. Quirk is the norm. Odd is cool and accepted. This next story is a perfect example.
Dark Horse Comics and Mike Richardson are working with a wilderness training camp to offer a Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense camp for kid age 9-17 this summer!
The program is designed to teach kids skills used by B.P.R.D. agents. (For non-comic geeks, Hellboy works for the B.P.R.D.)
Dark Horse Comics is based in Portland, Oregon with plenty of city green spaces for the younger recruits and vast forests near Sandy, Oregon for sleep away camps for the older kids.
