Witness for the first time the Rock Creek Park Portals and the Recruitment Center of Captain 20s Children. Inspired by Captain 20 himself (host of daytime TV shows for kids in the DC area in the 70s), the Children are conspirators of the imagination. They dwell in think-tanks where they make crafts and candles and work to spread the lure of the imagination. To keep the C20C alive.

Come meet your new "neighbors"?!

Long ago, Captain 20 was a faithful guide, sage and soothsayer for the Latch-Key kids inhabiting the suburban dwellings in the townships of MaryLand. He occupied the timeless expanse during a child's day devoted solely to the imagination, a time when ideas were free flowing, unconcerned with what was going on in the world. Having a flashlight and a tablecloth, meant that you had a fort; hanging out with friends meant creating secret worlds. In the afternoon hours under the glowing TV eye of the Captain, the Latch-Key kids soon discovered 'secret portals' and began transporting themselves into what would become the world of C20C.

Today, Captain 20s Children create. They work to spread the lure of the imagination while working to defeat the Comas, those with their creative minds switched off--to keep the C20C alive. The portals take you to the not-so-far away environments of the creative, where the Children are trained in the ways of C20C. The Children are dreaming. They are the imagination. The imagination used to show what is going on.

Welcome to their Recruitment Center!
