Summer camp is a rite of passage for many – singing songs around a campfire, exploring trails, and staying up late bonding with your cabinmates. If you’ve never been to summer camp, no worries at all. Consider this challenge your introduction to the fun parts: community, milestones, and a little friendly cabin spirit!
How to participate:
1. Join a Cabin (for fun + community)
Cabins are a way to meet other Contributors and feel like you’re part of a smaller team. Cabins are not competitive – we’re not tracking total points by cabin.
Cabins:
- Otter
- Fox
- Hawk
- Bear
2. Roll Call (introduce yourself!)
After you submit the cabin form, reply on our Cabin Roll Call thread.
Please include your cabin + your goal for this challenge (just one sentence is perfect).
3. Welcome shout-outs
We’ll post shout-outs multiple times a week, so keep an eye out – feel free to welcome new campers in the roll call thread too.
