I bet the last thing on your mind when you boarded the boat to Camp Bell Tree was homework. While you explore the campgrounds and its surroundings regions, enjoying all that Camp Bell Tree has to offer, you will forget about that assignment gathering dust at the bottom of your backpack. Forget about it for now. At the end of August I will come to you with the reminder that you still have one more assignment left to complete before you return to the real world.


Task


Work within your cabin to complete the summer homework assignment.


How It Works


The summer homework assignment will be posted in your cabin board early in the morning on Saturday August 28th 2021. You will have the remainder of the weekend to work within your cabin to complete the assignment together. The stakes? Up to 25 Campground Tokens each and up to 600 points for your cabin!


Rules


  • Only discuss the assignment within your own cabin.


How to Submit


Nominate one person within your cabin to submit the answers by 11:59pm EDT on Sunday August 29th 2021.


Prizes


  • Up to 25 Campfire Tokens for every member of your cabin.
  • Up to 600 points for your cabin.
 
Cock-a-doodle-doo! Good morning campers! It is the final weekend of our camping trip which means it is almost time to go back to reality. Before you leave, remember to complete and turn in your homework assignment. If you fail to make the deadline you will be sacrificing up to 600 points for your cabin and up to 25 Campfire Tokens per camper!

The summer homework assignment has been posted in each of your respective cabins. The questions are identical. You have until 11:59pm EDT on August 29th 2021 to submit the homework via the Summer Homework Submission Board (not yet open). Remember not to share your answers with the other cabins.
 
Hi all! There have been a few questions about the homework assignment popping up in each of the cabins. To make sure you are all on the same page I will answer them here:

  1. This is structured like a typical school assignment. The questions are literal, so look for key words that indicate the type of response we are looking for.
  2. The number at the end of each question indicates the number of marks awarded. If a question awards two marks then the answer requires two distinct pieces of information. For example, "Who is the meme queen and what name is given to her fools? (2)", we would accept "Mistreil" for one mark and "Evergreen" for the second.
  3. All information required to answer the questions has been made publicly available to all cabins at some point. Due to the event structure each of you can only access one location board right now and this was taken into account when balancing the questions.
  4. We are defining a day as a calendar day: 00:00-23:59 Eastern Daylight Time.
  5. Events that function similarly but have unique names are considered separate events.
  6. There are no trick questions. We want you to succeed.

Congratulations to the Crystal Ballers on achieving the highest score on the Summer Homework!


Your cabin points will be distributed to your cabin leaders shortly. How many campfire tokens you will receive is equal to your cabin score, e.g. Crystal Ballers received 23/25 on the homework therefore every member of their cabin will receive 23 Campfire Tokens each. Campfire Tokens will be distributed on August 31st 2021.
 
congrats to the crystal ballers on getting every answer right! you should be proud of yourselves and your hard work. ^_^

as for my fellow poliwags, you all should be proud of yourselves as well! we may not have gotten everything right, but 22/25 is still awesome! plus, if i did my calculations right, we’ve managed to secure 528 more points for ourselves, which is fantastic! 600 divided by 25 x 22 = 528.

everybody did a fantastic job, though, both with this and every other camp activity! regardless of which cabin gets to go home with the pearl, you all deserve a pat on the back for the teamwork and effort you’ve displayed this month! way to go, everyone! 🎉💙
