What summer event would you rather have for 2026?

Camp Bell Tree is awesome and super fun but I'm still salty that I will never get to own a

Galaxy Swirl... and also I think I prefer the Bell Tree Fair just in general. But I wouldn't be mad if the next summer event were Camp Bell Tree!

Honestly hard agree at the galaxy swirl. It is beautiful Never had a special collectable, maybe one year

I have met so many amazing people and made great friends in team events. I’m not competitive or talented so simpler events I enjoy more

Personally, I'm more of a team player than a solo one, so I've a soft spot for Camp. I've seen many friendships blossom from being on the same team, and even some from being rivals! Bonding with others and watching people who wouldn't normally interact connect with one another is very rewarding to me. When the time is right, I'll be very excited to participate in the next one.

That said, there have been challenges with team events, some of which I've experienced myself. It's sad (but completely understandable) when things like that sour the whole team experience for people. I can't promise the next team-based event will be free of issues, but I am feeling optimistic and confident thanks to all the great feedback y'all have provided.

Even if the community was nice during the summer event, there’s going to be some chaos. Recalling some of the nightmares:

• In the 2017 Fair, we had to solve some really hard mirrors, but one mirror really stood out the most. I still haven’t forgotten Butterfly Peach.
  • If that’s not all, as soon as the fair ended, they tampered with the swear filter, changing every use of the word “Halloween” with “Christmas”.
• In the 2020 Fair, the staff made us solve cryptograms using fruit emojis.
• In Camp TBT 2023, the Far Out Frequencies event was brutal.
• In the 2024 Fair, we’ve been trolled with the Graham and Marina puzzles.

This is going to continue no matter what summer event we get, if we get one.

I don't know. I've enjoyed all of the events. It really depends. I really enjoyed the birthday fair last year. So maybe I really like fairs more than teams? I wasn't active enough with the enchanted fair because I wasn't in the right headspace when being a caregiver. They're both still fun. I do still think 3 weeks is a tad too long and that teams can lose a lot of momentum when their teammates leave. But I haven't really brainstormed any ways to really remedy that. I don't mind never getting 1st place, but getting dead last on all the team events isn't really a fun feeling. I agree that teams is great for bringing members together for camaraderie.

I've made a lot of friends I wouldn't have if I had taken the leap to do each one, even if there was a sense of dread at the start if our team was going to struggle. So I do have to agree with Corrie that team events are more fun when your teammates are more active. I really liked Camp 2021, but our team struggled at the end. I forget the specific reason or the goal we needed to reach, but every other team achieved it and were waiting on ours to. But since it felt like we lost so many members it was a struggle and I thought we were going to actually not reach the goal tbh lol.

Maybe not everyone liked this, but I really loved canvas crossing. I thought that was a wonderful task to add to the birthday fair. I opted out of doing some of the other tasks at the end to do more drawings for everyone. I think events like this are needed to. Gifting others and having everyone feel included.

My issue with Canvas Crossing was how some people seemed to get more drawings than others, whether it was because they had more friends or their outfit just looks "better." I only got two drawings of my rep from the event and I was admittedly envious seeing everyone else with more than that. Same with the stocking activity from Christmas 2024. I still enjoyed making mine though

If there's a similar activity like this later on, why don't we get randomly assigned to make something for one person? @/Balverine would always do that with their Secret Santa exchange, everyone drew for each other and also got a drawing. It was fair.
