Site
The Art of War is normally held at a Boy Scout camp. Normally, this means covered sleeping areas with bunks are available, so tents will not be needed - but this may vary. Showers and bathrooms are also available. Due to the time of year, however, it may be cold at night. A parking lot is nearby.
There is usually access a variety of terrain for drills and fighting. This has included, at past events: multiple fields for drill and practice; wooded areas; bridges; and a mine (underground lit passage). There is also normally a dining hall that is also used for classes, and additional classroom areas may be available for other tracks.
