I’ve seen games like this with families, friend groups, streets, and classes, but never summer camps (yet)! I know it’s not summer but I felt like starting this early, hopefully this works all summer long and doesn’t die out but nevertheless, let us begin! This will take place in a fictional overnight summer camp of Camp Kikinaw (Cree for “our house”) in Ontario. After a type of camp session in Camp Kikinaw is completed, the next person will create the next camp session. The camp is for all genders and counsellors must be 18+.

Name: Ayaz Jamala Berfan
Birthdate: 25 February 1991 (age 32)
Gender: Male (he/him)
Appearance: Like all counsellors, he is wearing a Camp Kikinaw Staff T-shirt to establish he is a counsellor. He wears a bandana around his dark brown neck-length hair. He is of Azerbaijani descent and is Kurdish although he has no religion. His skin is medium-dark and his eyes are a dark brown that looks black. He has medium body hair and a small beard, which he’s planning to grow out all summer.
Personality: As a former CIT himself, he loves being back at the camp to lead other CITs to get the skills to become future camp counsellors. He is one of two counsellors to have also been a CIT before as a teenager but doesn’t underestimate the counsellor without teenage CIT experience. He’s goofy and loves to express his fun nature with the camp songs no matter how long they get stuck in his head. Ayaz really enjoys the other counsellors this summer and while they focus on the CITs this summer, the three often chat at night after the CITs are in bed at night. He’s happy to have the cabins for the CIT camp to be close to the lake and he’s good friends with the counsellors from the Lifeguarding camp who also have cabins nearby the lake. He also loves seeing them at the pool at camp. Outside of camp, he also loves horseback riding (although his camp cabins are unfortunately not that close to the camp stable), golfing, and racing dirt bikes. He’s a fan of documentaries as well, something he admits is hard to give up while at camp, but being there is worth it.
Name: [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]
Birthdate: 20th [name_f]May[/name_f] 2001 (age 22)
Prounouns : She/her/they/them
Appearance: see picture
Personality: [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] is very bubbly and happy. She has recently come out of a C.I.T camp in texas but decided to become a counselor here as she has heard good things about it. She loves training people who struggle with confidence as she was the same but has developed and now is one of the most confident people at camp. She mainly works with the CITs but the little kids adore her. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though there is a 10 year age gap between [name_m]Ayaz[/name_m] and [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] they get on really well and [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] looks up to [name_m]Ayaz[/name_m]. [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] has been struggling with her gender identity since age 16 but recently decided on her pronouns.
appearance: Of course, [name_m]Lenni[/name_m] wears her Camp [name_m]Kikinaw[/name_m] staff tshirt. [name_m]Lenni[/name_m] is slim and tall with milky skin. She has a round face with round eyes as well, that are a shiny green color. Her hair is currently shoulder length as she just cut it, and it’s blonde with brown highlights.
personality: [name_m]Lenni[/name_m] loves her job, training counselors to be. She wants to make sure that the kids understand the importance of fun but also the importance of responsibility. She used to go to sleepaway camp with her siblings and cousins growing up, and it was always the best time of her life. She wants to make sure kids are leaving Camp [name_m]Kikinaw[/name_m] with that same feeling. This is the fourth summer working at Camp [name_m]Kikinaw[/name_m], and she sees herself coming back every summer. She especially enjoys the people she works with, especially [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] who she looks at as a little sister. [name_m]Lenni[/name_m] isn’t as bubbly as [name_f]Imogene[/name_f], but she isn’t too serious either. She knows how to crack jokes when appropriate and knows how to be social. The kids love [name_m]Lenni[/name_m], and she loves them back.
Name: [name_f]Ostara[/name_f] [name_f]Marcy[/name_f] [name_m]Hansen[/name_m]
Birthdate: 12 [name_u]October[/name_u] 2007 (age 15)
Gender: Female (she/her)
Appearance: [name_f]Ostara[/name_f] is African-Canadian and often wears her hair in beaded cornrows. Her hair reaches her upper back but stops right there. Both her skin and hair are dark and she has very little body hair. She has pierced ears and often wears tie-dye and shorts.
Personality: [name_f]Ostara[/name_f] can’t wait to be a counsellor one day when she’s an adult! She strictly refers to herself as a “C.I.T” and not just a camper anymore. Admittedly she likes this transition phase between camper and counsellor though. She’s so happy to see [name_m]Lenni[/name_m] at camp and thinks it’s so sweet that [name_m]Lenni[/name_m] recognises her. She likes [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] as a counsellor and likes seeing what new counsellors show up every year. She finds [name_m]Ayaz[/name_m] the cool eldest one in the CIT session which she relates to because she is the eldest of three siblings. She doesn’t actually know her counsellors’ real ages; just who is eldest, middle and youngest. Ironically she thinks [name_m]Ayaz[/name_m] is still in his 20s given his youthful vibe and that [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] is older than 22 given her leadership. While she came to learn leadership skills to be a future counsellor, she looks up to her 3 counsellors with enthusiasm. [name_m]Ayaz[/name_m]? Ayasssss! [name_f]Imogene[/name_f]? Noyoureaqueen! [name_m]Lenni[/name_m]? Splenndi!
Name: [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_u]Jade[/name_u] Rockonson
Birthdate: [name_u]February[/name_u] 12, 2011
Gender: Female
Appearance: [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] is a tall, thin girl with tan skin, lots of freckles, and hazel eyes. She has long pale-brown hair usually in french braids. She has blue braces. She usually wears crop tops or oversized shirts.
Personality: [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] is funny and sociable. She easily makes friends and always wants more. She is easy to talk to, kind, and sort of a “therapist friend”. But sometimes this 12 year old can be slightly clueless. She loves the outdoors and is ready for a fun summer camp session. She lives in Las [name_u]Vegas[/name_u], [name_u]Nevada[/name_u] and her parents are divorced.
Name: [name_f]Joanie[/name_f] [name_u]Mai[/name_u] [name_m]Stewart[/name_m]
Birthdate: [name_f]April[/name_f] 22, 2009
Gender: Female
Appearance: As Joanie’s mother is Japanese, there are distinctive national features in the girl’s appearance. [name_f]Joanie[/name_f] is not very keen on taking care of her looks, so she cuts her dark hair short and prefers comfortable tracksuits and overalls. [name_f]Joanie[/name_f] wears braces and when she reads or writes she has to use glasses.
Personality: Bullying at her first school made [name_f]Joanie[/name_f] shy and withdrawn. The problem of bullying was resolved when she changed school due to a move, but she has not yet been able to get rid of her complexes completely. [name_f]Joanie[/name_f] came to the camp hoping to meet good friends. She likes to read books (favourites are [name_u]Anne[/name_u] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables, [name_u]Wonder[/name_u] by R.J. Palacio and The Wishing Spell) and playing ball sports.
CAMPER 4/8
Name: [name_u]Kirby[/name_u] [name_u]Moon[/name_u] [name_m]Chapman[/name_m]
Birthdate: [name_u]September[/name_u] 18th, 2008
Gender: Non-Binary (AFAB, they/them)
Appearance: [name_u]Kirby[/name_u] stands at 5’1, and generally has a thin and lithe figure. Their skin is fair, and their wistful green eyes are a defining feature of their face, which, along with the rest of their body, is dusted with freckles through it’s diamond shape. They are a natural blonde, though they implusively dyed it pitch-black with jade streaks a few nights before they left for camp. It’s very obvious that they also cut their hair themselves as well, as most of their hair hangs jagged around their neck and chin, and their go to hairstyle is a tiny, straight ponytail at the top of their head. They usually dress in all black, and for the summer, they stick with baggy graphic tees or tanktops. They wear green braces on their teeth, and carry a portable oxygen tank around with them in a small totebag.
Personality: Kirby’s upbringing was unconventional, to say the least. They were raised by two hippie moms and lived along their 3 older sisters in a lesbian commune. They struggle in social situations and tend to be more than a little reckless, but if you look past that, you will find a very sweet and accepting being! It wasn’t really their choice to go to summer camp, but their parents thought it would keep them from being isolated by themselves all season. They are creative and like to draw comics in their spare time, wanting to be a illustrator when they get older.
Name: [name_m]Kristoff[/name_m] [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] [name_m]Hays[/name_m]
Birthdate: 23 [name_u]August[/name_u] 2008 (age 14)
Gender: Male (he/him)
Appearance: He has very dark skin, cocoa brown eyes, and molasses-brown hair. His hair is short and very textured. He is kind of chubby but his legs have good muscle. He often wears sunglasses and hiking boots, with shorts and loose-fitting tees. [name_m]Kristoff[/name_m] has wide shoulders and hips and has a few bug bites…it’s what camp does.
Personality: He loves movies and TV, what he misses back home. He loves leadership and finding people to be a friendly guide for. He’s closest with [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] of his counsellors. He has a booming loud voice for camp enthusiasm. He’s sporty and likes teamwork.
Appearance: [name_u]Sully[/name_u] is a tall and thin boy who looks like a bookish [name_m]Ron[/name_m] Weasley. Like the famous hero, he has red wavy hair and green eyes. The boy has large hands and feet, which can make him look a little unkempt. Sully’s pale skin is strewn with freckles, especially on his nose and cheeks.
Personality: At first glance, [name_u]Sully[/name_u] appears to be a soft and humble guy, but that feeling disappears once you get to know him better. He has many friends with whom he spends time almost every day. He is loved by those around him for his sense of humour, easy-going nature and kindness. Sully’s favourite pastimes are football, going to the cinema and playing video games. He has a beloved chocolate lab named [name_m]Rich[/name_m]. [name_m]Boy[/name_m] enjoys looking after him, cleaning up his waste and fur and training him. This desire to care, however, hardly extends to Sully’s younger sister, [name_u]Darby[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. Sully’s other unloved chores include washing dishes and doing laundry.
Name: [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m] " [name_m]Tad[/name_m] " [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] [name_m]Rook[/name_m]
Birthdate: 17 [name_u]February[/name_u] 2008 (age 15)
Gender: Male (he/him)
Appearance: [name_m]Tad[/name_m] has dark-brown skin, dark eyes, and black hair. He is a little shorter than average and has a slim, muscular build. When he isn’t out adventuring on his own, he wears loose, comfortable clothing and a simple necklace with a leather cord. His face is smooth and clean-shaven, and he almost always has a chuckled grin on his face. He is confident in his appearance and it shows in his body language.
Personality: He loves being a CIT but he can be quite kooky especially when he makes jokes. He’s very positive and upbeat in his approach and will eat anything. He’s best friends with [name_u]Sully[/name_u] and [name_u]Kirby[/name_u] and friends with everyone else. He can be quite clumsy but he’s chill to laugh it off.
Name: [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] [name_f]Macy[/name_f] [name_m]Drury[/name_m]
Birthdate: 7th of [name_u]February[/name_u], 2007 / 16
Gender: Female (she/her)
Appearance: Lorelei’s considered princessy at first glance. She’s always got at least one pink item on, and is known to customise her official camp clothing to reflect her personal sense of style, not compromising her expression for almost anything [she has reasonable exceptions of course]. Her hair’s usually partially obscured by a scarf or bandana, having a very fluffy and curling texture, being ash brown in colour, and quite difficult to tame. There’s a natural light tan to her complexion, which makes her blue eyes stand out more, in spite of their darker colour. She’s average height at 5’4" and doubts she’ll do any growing in the future, with a bottom heavy figure that sometimes she complains about, although she’s pleased to have strong legs. Her features are round, especially her cheeks, and she’s fonder of them when freckles appear across them.
Personality: A natural leader, there’s definitely a side to [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] that people aren’t naturally pleased about. She’s got a great capacity for stubbornness, a product of her upbringing, where she had to stand her ground a lot for a child while her parents were going through a messy divorce, however her protectiveness of others [starting with her younger siblings] is always present. [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] cares for the well-being of those around her and is sensitive when it comes to personal matters, keeping secrets aptly, unless she thinks a situation is at a point where someone needs to be informed. Given how determined she is in remaining herself, [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] encourages those around her to be themselves, and she handles stressful situations with ease. Responsibility isn’t considered a burden by her, although the established counsellors do keep an eye out, given how [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] can place excess pressure on herself in the viewpoint of helping those around her.
Name: [name_f]Kylene[/name_f] [name_f]Kailey[/name_f] [name_m]Jano[/name_m]

Gender: Intersex leaning Female (she/her)
Appearance: [name_f]Kylene[/name_f] has a heart-shaped face with very dark skin and long, tightly curled black hair. She has minimal waterproof makeup and is often smiling. [name_f]Kylene[/name_f] wears sunscreen a lot and has a slight sunscreen smell - that is, when she’s not carrying a smell of lake water or pool chlorine. She often ties her hair back in a bun when swimming to avoid it in her way but her hair is too long and thick for most swim caps. She is 6’2 and has broad shoulders and strong biceps. She wears the Camp [name_m]Kikinaw[/name_m] shirt but also loves the traditional red that lifeguards wear as it’s her fave colour.
Personality: She loves to teach and make people happy and comfortable in Lifeguarding. She’s close with all the CIT counsellors and bonds with them especially since the Lifeguarding cabin is so close to them. She loves the lake but secretly prefers the camp pool but she loves teaching the campers how to be strong with both. She’s taken lifeguarding camp and CPR training as a teenager and she’s really happy to be able to give the gift of teaching others these valuable skills. She loves to make s’mores and enjoys the camp food a lot, especially the camp food at the mess hall, where the cooks and Cooking Camp campers make food. [name_f]Kylene[/name_f] has a bubbly personality and is always a brave spirit.

[name_f]Every[/name_f] opportunity she gets [name_f]Lila[/name_f] will go to the beach to swim and she decided that next summer, she wants to be a lifeguard! She is compassionate, creative and witty.
