Greetings everyone and future campers, to the camper signups for the upcoming October 2023 (first!) session of Camp Astrophilia! Make sure to read the entire description before you sign up to avoid any miunderstandings. ☆ What is CA? CA, or Camp Astrophilia, is a triannual virtual camp that runs through the months of April, August and October. Campers set goals at the beginning when you sign up, and try to reach them by the end of camp. CA focuses on discovering more about yourself, reaching your goals, and keeping you motivated with different activities, all of that while meeting new people, having fun, and making memories. ☆ FAQ - Does signing up for a camper mean that you are guaranteed to be in CA? Yes, it does! Everyone who signs up will be accepted. - When do signups close? The deadline for camper signups will be 11:59 UTC on September 20th. Signups for backup campers will open again on October 1st, but you'll be added later on in the session. - How will I know which cabin I'm in? Leaders will be messaging you on your profile or chatroom the week before camp starts (last week of September in this case), and you'll be invited to the cabin's studio. Please also note that there is no guarantee that you will be placed in your favourite cabin as we try to keep things balanced, but remember that every cabin is unique and you'll definitely have lots of fun :) ☆ Goals Here are a list of some of the goals you can set. If you have an idea that is not listed here, please ask us in the comments or in your signup! - Writing (XXX words) - Reading (XXX pages) - Coding (XXX minutes) - Visual Arts (XXX pieces) - Performing Arts (XXX minutes) - Cooking (XXX dishes) there's always more... ☆ Cabin List - Garnet Gardens (led by @Pun-derful and @jalapeno9) - Sapphire Shores (led by @mystic_luna_eclipse) - Topaz Towers (led by -_Flower-_Petals-_) - Emerald Emporium (led by @C_Yee) ☆ Signup Form 1.
