It’s the final and fourth week of Camp-A-Palooza and the campers have gone to new heights to explore beyond the wilderness of There!
Bring your sky deck and Hoverpack to set up your own campsite in Space. A few generous campers have dropped additional sky decks for those of us to use who don’t have a lot of experience building in Space. Camping events will continue this week with Bigfoot Quests, campfire stories and Bigfoot Family Photos.
Earn camp badges for participating in the camp out each week! There are a total of seven badges to collect. Earn three badges to participate in the final Camp Challenge and collect any six badges to be eligible for a special prize. Once you have pitched your tent at the last location, you will want to add your campsite to the Camp-A-Palooza Camper Badges Sheet.
The search for Bigfoot continues! Make sure to capture his photograph and post it to the Thereian Community Facebook Page to be entered into a drawing. The more locations you find him in, the better your chances at winning the Bigfoot drawing. Make sure your photo captures his name tag and avatar.

The Hunt For Bigfoot in There Continues…
Bigfoot has been causing quite the stir during Camp-A-Palooza events in There! There have been several sightings at Camp Nada, Camp Lake Aurora and now Camp Pineapple Forest. With all of the campers encroaching on his natural habitat, Bigfoot has been making some bold moves showing his face in high traffic areas. Trivia guests were startled when he was spotted running through Tiki Talk Tuesday a few days ago.
Thereians have been tracking the elusive beast and documenting sightings of the hairy creature on Facebook. It’s been a challenge for campers to catch photos of him close up. Most often his name tag is seen off in the distance or quick pics have been snapped of him running away with his back to the camera.

At this point Thereians are unsure of what he has been feasting on to keep up his energy reserves eluding groups of curious campers and packs of trail sniffing dogs. There was a murmur through the crowds of campers that Clucky has been missing for several days. It is feared There’s beloved mascot may have turned into Bigfoot’s dinner. No word yet on whether chicken bones were present in the latest discovery of Bigfoot’s scat.
Join the Bigfoot Quest during Camp-A-Palooza and find all of the clues. The Quest runs till the end of the fourth week of camping. There is also a special search party event during Cross Country Racing on Friday night. The crew of campers plan to cruise a caravan of Hoverboats all over the island of Caldera in search of Bigfoot. You never know, you could be the camper who catches him!
If you should discover Bigfoot on your own, do not approach him. There is safety in numbers. Make sure to capture his photograph and post it to the Thereian Community Facebook Page to be entered into a drawing. The more locations you find him in, the better your chances at winning the Bigfoot drawing. Make sure your photo captures his name tag and avatar.
Camp-A-Palooza – Week Three
Join your fellow campers for week three of Camp-A-Palooza over at Camp Pineapple Forest! Nestled along the outskirts of Island Tours, the new camp is set under the trees where a gentle fog blankets the campsites. It’s a little chilly, but folks are keeping warm near the campfires and BBQ pits.
Join the hunt for Bigfoot, attend a sunrise social or share scary stories over the campfire! There’s lots of camping activities going on this week. Sign up for something that suits your schedule.
Earn camp badges for participating in the camp out each week! There are a total of seven badges to collect. Earn three badges to participate in the final Camp Challenge and collect any six badges to be eligible for a special prize. Once you have pitched your tent at any of the four locations, you will want to add your campsite to the Camp-A-Palooza Camper Badges Sheet.
The location of the final campsite will be announced after the Themed Planning Meeting next Tuesday. Don’t miss out on one of the best summer adventures in There!
Week Two of Camp-A-Palooza – Hike to Camp!
Everyone’s been having a blast singing campfire songs, playing games and chasing Big Foot over at Camp Nada during the first week of Camp-A-Palooza in There. A group of around sixty Thereians pitched tents, parked their campers and set up campfires around a central camp area on the island of Nada.
Camp-A-Palooza continues this week with a Hike to Camp event!
