Camp Mirage Mt. Juliet: Nerf Alien Encounter Camp

This half-day specialty camp builds a full narrative around the classic Nerf battle — kids pick a side at the start of the week, either defending Earth from an alien invasion or playing the role of the invaders themselves. The choose-your-faction setup gives it a story-driven angle that stands out from standard foam dart free-for-alls, making it especially appealing for kids who enjoy imaginative, team-based play. The camp runs mornings from 9 a.m. to noon, so it works well for families who want structured summer activity without a full-day commitment. At $185 for the week, it's a reasonable price point for a specialty experience. Five sessions are spread from late May through late July, giving families plenty of scheduling flexibility. The location is Camp Mirage's Mt. Juliet site on Wildcat Way in Lebanon — worth noting if you're coming from farther west in Nashville. Ages 7–14 are welcome, so older and younger siblings can often share a session. Families also explore Camp Mirage Mt. Juliet: Nerf Battle Royale Camp and Camp Mirage Mt. Juliet: Floor Is Lava Camp for similar themed, action-packed options at the same location.
