Camp-A-Palooza 2018
Camp-A-Palooza is a well-loved annual event that kicks off the summer season in virtual world There. Join new and old friends for ghost stories and sing-a-longs around the campfire May 28th through June 16th.
Each Monday night, campers will meet at Camp-A-Palooza Central and teleport out to a secret wilderness location in There where Camp Counselors will lead the group on a hike to the next camping site. Once campers descend upon a new spot, they drop a PAZ and pitch their tents. Campers enjoy a week-long vacation then it’s off to the next camp site the following Monday evening.
Camp-A-Palooza is only a few days away. Do you have your camping gear ready to go? Make sure you are properly prepared to survive the great outdoors in There. You can purchase camping supplies in the Auctions if you need a tent, sleeping bag, stove or cooler to take with you.
If you miss the Hike to Camp events, you can cruise over to Camp-A-Palooza Central and find the teleport link out to the secret camp location. There will be plenty of fun camping activities planned during the event. Search keyword camp on the Events Page to discover the line-up of Camp-A-Palooza activities. Make sure to add your name to the camp sign-up sheet.
Take a look back at fond memories of Camp-A-Palooza 2015 with this member created video by Thereian JRz of PixelaTeD iMaGeS.
