My first storybook! Let us get started.

You applied for a summer day camp working with children. The first week of summer is the first staff meeting, where you will be meeting all the other camp counselors. Even though this is a job working with children, there is still room for romance.

The camp is set on the beach in a California (U.S.A.) town. The camp runs from 9:00 A.M. until 3:00 A.M. Since the first week are just staff meetings, the hours are 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 A.M. The staff meetings each day are where you learn about everything you will be doing. Storybookers can create these things, but remember this is a camp for kids of ages 5-12.

Junior Counselor vs. Senior Counselor
Junior counselors (sometimes called junior leaders) assist the senior leaders. The senior leaders actually plan out what the children will be doing, such as hikes or games, and the junior leaders basically do anything the senior leaders says. Once enough people join, I will start pairing junior leader and senior leaders together. If you wish to be with a specific person, say so in the discussion thread.

Boss

Her name will be Sandy, and you can basically have her do anything. Just remember that she is the boss. You can use her to create drama, but it must be realistic. I will tell you if what you are doing to the boss is uncalled for. :)


Guidelines

- characters must be no younger than 16 and no older than 22.
- there are after-work hangouts and parties, so don't be afraid to start one of those.
- this is realistic, but you can basically do anything.
- no vulgar things, of course.
- all YWS rules apply
- be sure to make all characters original, and not all girls! haha
- no killing other characters, but giving them injuries is fine. :P
- drama! We want drama!
- we will be going from day to day! If you wish to change the day, be sure that all other character's actions are over with, and be sure to state if it is the next day or not.

Character Palate:

Name: Rose Williams

Gender: Female

Age: (16-22) 18

Picture: Image

Personality: Very shy except for around children. If someone is being rude or stupid, she'll be the first to tell them

Senior or Junior counselor: Senior Counselor

Likes: Ice cream, movies, children

Dislikes: Mean people, her boss, cupcakes

Favorites: Chocolate ice cream, H&M clothing, dying her hair blonde.

Talents: Great with kids. Probably the boss's favorite counselor.

History: She is poor and first started working for the camps at age 16. She needs money for college, even though she's going to community.
Her father died when she was thirteen, which is why she's so headstrong... and poor. Her and her mother are currently living in her aunts house. Even though she wants to go away to college, she doesn't want to leave her mother.

Up for Love: Maybe.

Sounds good Classy :) Count me in best friend! :D

Character Palate:

Name: Lucas Riley (or "Luke")

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Picture:

Personality: Lively and loves to get involved. His best trait is his comedy and he has a gnack for making people laugh. He's outgoing and loves to socialise. However, he's not very good at talking to girls he likes.

Senior or Junior counselor: Junior

Likes: The idea of moving to Europe, travelling, socialising, throwing parties and chicken!

Dislikes: Pizza, bullies and "The American Dream"

Favorites: Smart casual clothing, wacky hair and talking to the ladies (despite the fact he isn't very good at it!).

Talents: Although not very musical, Luke is pretty handy on a piano and a guitar, but not much good at any rocky songs. He sticks with the ballads. He's very friendly and funny.

History: He was born in America and brought up by a family who'd missed out on the American dream, his childhood was rough and he worked and worked to live through it best he could. After he got popular in the radio business when he was 15 he'd made enough money to decide what to do with his life at the very least. Luke decided he'd regain his lost childhood and signed up to work at the Summer Camp, when he was 17 (i.e. now). :)

Up for Love: I guess :P

Other: Loves the radio and would always listen rather than watch on the telly.

Name: Bonnie Clemens

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Picture:

Personality: The kids love Bonnie. She is preppy, fun loving, never serious about life. She gives 100 percent for every fun activity the kids do. She is almost like one of them. She would rather have a marshmellow eating contest than discuss politics and policies (unless those two things, she says, are the same thing). People who don't know her well think she's insane, but her friends think she's the best person ever.

Senior or Junior counselor: Junior

Likes: Kids, her boss, parties, joy.

Dislikes: Anger, hate, sadness, bad kids.

Favorites:

Color- Neon Green
Animal- Seal
Scent- Peppermint
Ice Cream- Mint Chocolate Chip
Dog Breed- Daushhond (Wiener Dogs)
Season- Summer

Talents: Signing, guitar, keeping the mood light, keeping kids happy.

History: she was born on June 23 to two very loving parents. She grew up middle class, always happy with what she had. She was never very book smart, but always had a ton of friends, though was never popular. She miserably failed 8th grade, so her parents made her go to summer school. That woke her up, and she began to do slightly better in school. But she never lost her live-in-the-moment atitude.

Up for Love: Defiently

Other: Loves skydiving.

I can change my entry to a senior counselor, if you want. I don't mind.

I'll wait and see if more people sign up as senior counselors, and if not, I will. :)

So, does anyone want to be paired specifically with anyone? Look at the current pairs and tell me if you don't like them. :P

And yes, Wildest Temptations, if you would change yours to a senior leader, my life would be perfect.

Two more people and I will be ready to start! If you wish to start as soon as possible, you might want to do a bit of advertising, yah? :)

EDIT: Never mind Wildest Temptations, I don't need you to change anymore. :)
