IC: Seth MacDonald walked through the campground, making last minute checks. He looked in each cabin, making sure the windows were free from holes and the floors were clean. He checked the trails, making sure they had all been trimmed back. He walked along the lake, checking if there were any holes that needed filling. It all looked good. Alice Winters, his grounds keeper waved at him as he passed. She was running a weed wacker along the sidewalks leading up to the camp office. She looked good in her weathered tan, cut-offs and wife-beater, like always, but he knew she wasn't interested in what he had to offer. They were just friends working together to run a successful summer camp.
At the crafts building his old Uncle Billy was slapping a fresh coat of white paint on the exterior. He tipped his old Peterbill hat at Seth and winked. Seth tipped his woven stray cowboy hat in return and grinned. Uncle Billy had always been loyal to his father and it was good to know he was in his corner.
When his father had died four years ago, leaving him the campgrounds, he hadn't intended to run them. He had returned to arrange a sale and found the grounds falling apart. It had taken a year of solid work to get the grounds in shape to be sold, but in the process he had remembered his own childhood and fallen in love with the campgrounds again. Now they were ready to be opened again.
The summer was over and it was to late to open up for the hundreds of kids that would come next summer, but he had hit on a great idea. He took one of the last warm weeks before the Fall really hit hard and opened the camp to adults who wanted to relive their childhoods. He invested heavily to advertise the "Indian Summer" camp and Oak Bay Campgrounds and they actually had about fifty campers coming! They all understood that they would be required to sleep in bunks and be assigned counselors and cabin-mates, just like when they were kids. He had organized the same kind of events, including softball games, skit night, talent night, archery, canoe races, swimming in the lake and other fun, wholesome camp activities. He expected that they would see some of the same practical jokes and late night inter-cabin raids that the camp had seen when he was a kid, but that was all part of the fun. The only change that they had made from a standard summer camp (besides the fact that the campers would all be adults) was that the cabins would be co-ed. They would get a counselor, a bunk, color-co-ortinated t-shirts with the camp logo and a chance to win the week long competition between the cabins.
OCC: This is open to anyone, but I want the players to all be in one or two cabins, to keep things easy. You can be a counselor, a camper or a staff member. This is all for fun to "camp" it up. (sorry, I realize that was bad..) THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL OVER 18! It is a summer camp FOR ADULTS! They are required to follow the rules of summer camp though. It is part of the experience.
