Week 1

This week's theme: Love

This year we're theming Summer Camp around the four seasons, and the first theme, based on spring, is Love! Love doesn't have to be romantic, and it definitely doesn't have to be between people (patriotism, hobbies...). Before continuing, take a moment to think about various manifestations of love in your world.  

Assignment: Pledge your goal

The first step to complete a goal is to set it! So, for your first assignment:  

1. Decide how many Summer Camp prompts you'll aim for.
2. If you have more than one world, which world(s) will you participate with?
3. Download and fill out the pledge document.

  Then, add your pledge to the Homework article you'll submit.  

Week 1 Hopscotch

This week's hopscotch is all about focusing on your existing worldbuilding materials!   If you already have a world, use this week to review it and update it where necessary. Worldbuilding is usually a non-linear process, so it's very easy to end up with internal inconsistencies, information gaps, or outdated content. This step ensures your world will be ready for a bunch of new content next month.   And, if you're creating a new one, establish its foundations now! Summer Camp is a great challenge for a new world as you'll be exploring many different topics throughout the month. However, in order to write so much, you need to establish solid foundations to support your worldbuilding. This is what this week is all about!     Text version   Answer the assignment and at least one hopscotch prompt in the Homework article. Then, submit it to this challenge by clicking the trophy button in the article editor.  

Optional: Warm-up prompt

To start developing the theme of love in your world, we have a worldbuilding prompt for you! If you choose to accept this optional assignment, answer this prompt with a Settlement article:  

Write a Settlement that's associated with love.

  This could be due to a famous love story involving the city, because a loved person lives there, because of a festival that celebrates love, or anything else you can think of! When you're done, link the article in the Homework article you submitted.
