Bug Camp
Artwork by Casey Nowak
A Cryptid is described by the Oxford English Dictionary as “an animal whose existence or survival to the present day is disputed or unsubstantiated,” but you know them better as your nextdoor neighbor! You and fellow campers have been trusted with an extra activity this year at Camp White Pine: Protect the Cryptids from the corrupt Gentleman Germ and his nasty cohorts as they plow down the forest to uncover Cryptid secrets!
Designer Notes:
Bug Camp’s aesthetic is a simultaneous love letter to the ‘monster of the week’ structure found in supernatural mystery TV shows and the preservation messages of early 90s environmentalist TV shows. The camp setting with insects felt like the right balance for those two inspirations, providing a controlled natural space for young heroes to grow and change through the course of their adventure.
