Welcome to Camp Morgan. Established 1935 by the Abbott brothers.

It's the early 2000's, and you've just been dropped off for the summer at a camp in Dolan, Indiana, known best for its cute, small-town vibes and annual summer carnival - but also for its creepy legends and mosquito-filled July's. Luckily, it's only June.

Encircled by the spooky Morgan-Monroe forest, the camp backs up to Lake Monroe. Be ready for long days of every summer activity imaginable, and long nights of campfires and ghost stories.

Camp Morgan runs for seven weeks. Have fun...



A few ground-rules:
1) Feel free to have multiple characters, but let's keep it to 3 max for now. Use charries you already have or create new!
2) Also feel free to play a staff member or camp counselor as well as an incoming kid!
3) This camp is for teenagers only. Obviously the staff/counselors can be older.
4) As usual, only control what you're characters say and do - leave the other RPing to the other users!
5) No magic, please. These campers are non-magic-using humans. However, there is a bit of a paranormal side throughout the town's history.

*Please include a spoiler telling us a little bit about your character(s)
*Let me know of any questions! I've been wanting to start an RP for a while, and this is what I came up with as something a lil' different. So lEt'S dO tHiS tHiNg!

Dominic sighed and leaned against the window of his mother's car. To be sent to summer camp was not his idea of an ideal time. Besides, he and the boys were supposed to spend the long days hanging out, messing with younger kids of the neighborhood, and playing COD. So much for that. His parents had not been too fond of his grades the past semester, so here he was.

The car slowed and finally stopped in one of the parking spots in the gravel lot. A sign read, in dirty-white letters, "Camp Morgan. Est. 1935."

"Ma, this place is ancient!" He trudged out of the car, grabbing his duffel and pillow from the trunk. His mother gave him an eye roll as she got out of the driver's seat and came around the car to him.

"You need this," she poked a finger at him, then leaned forward and kissed him on the top of his head, like a mom would do. "Love you."

With that, Dominic turned and faced the camp, which was filled with teens of all ages clamoring with the camp friends they knew and rushing off to find their cabins. There were several counselors directing them, and a table for check-in. He headed for it.

Clancy wiped a hand over her brow, already feeling the June sun's heat. Mixed with the stress of being a camp counselor - and dubbed a "rookie" one at that - she was already feeling a bit exhausted. But it was fine, she lived for the outdoors!

"It's your first day and you're doing great," she told herself, aloud. As a group of incoming teens came up to her, she checked her clipboard and directed them to their cabins. Her own cabin was closer to the lake, as the location of cabins went. Her clipboard told her she had seven girls with her, and she intended to make it a great summer for them.

Taking a swig of water from her Nalgene, Clancy turned towards the direction of the check-in table to see a tall, dark-haired boy walking up, among others.

Wren didn’t know what to expect when they walked through the door of the camp. It was dusty, rustic, and overall old-looking. Not Wren’s style in the LEAST. They rolled their eyes a bit, getting in line to check in with a counselor. Not looking where they were going, they accidentally crashed into a tall, dark-haired boy.

Meredith heard the honks of the cars, which had grown familiar to her over the years. A new camp season... she thought, floating a bit closer. She really hoped someone wouldn’t run this time around.
