PRS launches Camp Paranormal, part of Paranormal University, where attendees have the opportunity to enroll in to one of the four departments within PRS and receive training/hands-on experience.  Attendees will be paired up with other like-minded “students” in to their own house.  You will attend workshops, participate in group activities and games, perform mock and real investigations and more!  Each department focuses on a specific aspect of paranormal research.  Within their assigned department, attendees will take workshops on various subjects/topics like occult symbolism, demonology, tech research, interviewing clients, historical research, psychology & the paranormal, skepticism 101 & more.  Attendees will obtain hands-on experience by conducting a mock-investigation (complete with tech setup, interviews and more), historical research and more.  On the “paranormal” side of things, those wishing to go further will have the option of participating in a real investigation in the Raleigh area.

Enrollment is easy.  Simply fill out the registration form and pay your deposit (for your convenience you’ll be able to pay in monthly installments, or you can pay upfront if you prefer).  When you register you’ll be asked to answer questions pertaining to your interests in the paranormal.  A few weeks after signing up, you will be contacted by a Para-University representative who will help construct a suggested workshop schedule based on your interests.  You will also gain access to a private CMS website where you will get to meet fellow Para-University attendees, sign-up for special projects, learn more about each workshop and more.

Once you arrive at the Camp, you will settle in to your department cabin.  You will attend orientation, participate in team-building exercises, enjoy games and down-time,
 attend workshops, participate in paranormal study groups and much more!

You have the option of signing up for 3 or 7 days of training.
3 DAYS: Friday – Sunday (March 1-3rd, 2013)
7 DAYS: Friday – Thursday (March 1-7th, 2013)

For those signing up for the three days, you will get an overview of some of your favorite subjects and perhaps be exposed to a few you didn’t know you loved.  For those attending the seven day retreat, you will not only get much more exposure, but you’ll have a full week to be with the PRS family.

THE FOUR ‘CAMPS’:

You will ultimately be assigned to one of the four research departments of PRS.  Don’t worry, you will all be able to sign up for the same courses.  You will have the opportunity to talk with a representative after you pay your deposit to find out which department best suits your interests.  Think of your department like a house of like-minded people or a group of students under a college major.  All of you have different interests but a common thread of similar goals.

Here are the following houses you will be assigned to:

a) Field Investigation & Research (FIR): involves ghosts, hauntings and all other non-lab based research.  Strong emphasis on interviewing, circumstantial evidence and paranormal theory.

b) Parapsychology & Technological Research (PLT): Involves the study of the mind, psychokinesis, psychic phenomenon, meditation and all other forms of research that can be placed in a controlled environment or have repeatable results.  Involves developing and issuing research on psychic accuracy to testing the latest technological breakthroughs (such as the God Helmet, EMF studies, Ganzfeld, Spirit Box, etc.)

c) Spirituality & Occult Research (SOR): Involves the study of religion, theology, mythology and occultism.  Large emphasis on historical and academic research.  Delves in to Paganism, Shamanism, Satanism (traditional and modern), demonology, Judaism, Christianity and more.

d) General Society Department (GSD): For those who want an overview of all three departments and wish to contribute to all three.  GSD attendee are technicians, special interest researchers and also delve in to areas not traditionally covered by the first three departments.  Those wishing to pursue other avenues within the paranormal can help identify these interests ahead of time and a custom program can be created for them within the courses offered.

DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS

CHECK-IN:        Attendees will be escorted to their house cabin (there are four houses in PRS, so you will be assigned to either GSD, FIR, PLT or SOR), assigned to their bunks and introduced to their living space.  You will be given your house/department camp shirt and other gear, such as a camp map, your schedule, any bonus reading material, etc.

ORIENTATION:    During orientation you will be given a tour of the camp, which comprises of a lake, a labyrinth, outdoor spiritual center, trails, sports activity field, cemetery and much more.  You will go over certain rules as well as goals for the weekend or week.  You will also hear great stories from the instructors.

WORKSHOPS:    Regular, daytime workshops will consist of various different courses that you can sign up for. They are very diverse, including, “Interviewing,” “Psychology & the Paranormal,” “Demonology,” “Occult Symbolism,” “Paranormal Theory,” “Parapsychology Intro,” “Cryptozoology,” “Poltergeist Phenomenon,” “Documenting a Unexplained Phenomenon,” “Critical Thinking & Skepticism,” “Paranormal History” and more.

GROUP EXERCISE:        Group exercises are exciting opportunities for every member from each house to pull together  and compete against other houses in team-building activities and missions.  From quirky paranormal games (like Paranormal Bingo, improv and haunted house races) to intimate moments (discussions, 100 Candles, Forest Walk, group stories), this is an opportunity for you to get to bond with others.  90% of first-time attendees come alone and walk away with lifelong friends, so this will undoubtedly foster great friendships.  Groups will also get to share their creativity, knowledge and skill in ways of their choosing.

BREAKFAST LUNCH &  DINNER:        Meals are included with your ticket, so enjoy!

NIGHT WORKSHOPS:    Night-time workshops may include EVP sessions, spiritual communication, fear exercises,
 astrology and more.

MEDITATION AT LABYRINTH: Understand and try different forms of meditation within different belief systems.

MOCK-INVESTIGATION: Those staying for the entire event will have the opportunity to control and maneuver through a mock investigation, in preparation of the real investigation on Wednesday night.

REAL INVESTIGATION: PRS will pull from its database 3-4 real case requests for investigation.  Teams participating will slowly understand, research and train for the case while learning in their workshops.
