Game Pack Idea - Summer Camp

A summer camp pack! This would be a great pack for teens and children alike, and it could be a fun experience if designed properly. Send the kids away for a week (or two) of camp living where they can learn to swim, work on archery skills, play volleyball, make crafts, share scary stories around a campfire, sing camp songs and make s’mores! Kids will go on nature hikes where they can discover new collectibles … or old ones – the insects? ... fish in the pond – beware the swamp monster that’s reported to lurk around these waters! – and learn about the night sky while gazing at the stars.
First crushes could happen here, pen pals, writing home to mom and dad, food fights in the mess hall, goofy camp counselors, encounters with wildlife – raccoons, skunks, bears …
Most of all they will build friendships that will last a lifetime.
They could also tie it in with the Scouting activity so campers get faster badge gains or earn special badges when they go to camp.
If they had the space/capacity, maybe they could do a couple of different camps, including a music camp, a sports camp, and a science and technology camp where they would learn appropriate skills and could potentially introduce new game play objects like a baseball and glove for catch, new instruments and coding/kid-friendly (or kid-sized) robots.

    It'd be really awesome to finally give scouts an active gameplay, with all those features. I don't know why but a musical summer camp came to my mind. Lol
  • I just thought about this. It would so fun in the summer season for kids to not have to go to school and have the option to enroll into summer camp they can go for 1 week or 2 weeks. Have all kinds of different interactions like " write letter to parents" Sims can get moodlets like homesick, sheltered, free bird" etc. Teen sims can sign up to be voluntary big brother counselors. You should be able to sneak away from camp and get in trouble if caught out late after camp curfew. They should have a tug of war rope and other fun camp activities. You should be able to have a food fight in the cafeteria and pull all of kinds of pranks on the adult staff.
  • It should be a game pack like a world similar to Granite Falls... maybe call it something like Camp Lake Lagoon. Sims can swim in the lake go kayaking, hiking, collect rocks and so much more. Sims should be able to read stories under covers with cabin/tent buddies.

    I would for the teens to instead of going to the summer camp why not have a summer camp job like they can be a camp counselor with a YA and up being camp leader or camp organizer, then have like a camp mascot like we're the Bears vs the Mountain Lion I don't know something with cooler names so they can have like a friendly competition race like for the skills archery and fishing and etc. And they can take home prizes and ribbons and as you say badges. I would also like to granite falls seems like perfect to put in hikes and trails as a refresh. But the kids also learn about different birds and fish and plants and rocks same thing with teens they can learn as well. I also want tie dye shirts in game lol.
