IT’S SUMMER CAMP TIME!

The major five entertainment companies in the country have come together to organize a camp in Seoul for everyonein the directory – free of charge! Your entry tickets have already been paid by sponsors of all kinds, from food chains to technology companies and major brands of beauty products. You’ll be using their products and wearing their shirts during camp, which shouldn’t be too much of a hassle – it’s a sweet deal, isn’t it? And since it was your CEOs that came up with the idea, trainees are allowed to skip out on schedules to join!

On the weekends of July 22-24andJuly 29-31, all muses are invited to check into the hotel booked especially for this occasion. Check-ins will be accepted until 6PM on Friday, and check-outs are to be processed by 1PM on Sundays. Your rooms will be assigned to you once you apply to the camp, and you will be staying in the same room for both weekends. Muses are not required to participate in both weekends!

Many activities have been prepared for the camp! All five companies have brought in their coaches for special workshops, and some fun games were staged to help everyone cope with the heat. Morning Activities are from 9AM to 12PM; Afternoon Activities are from 2PM to 6PM; and Night Time Activities start at 9PM and last until midnight. Breakfast is served from 7AM to 10AM, lunch is from 11AM to 2PM, and dinner will be offered from 6PM to 8PM.

From July 20 to August 16th, we’ll be hosting the event in OOC time. There are a total of 15 POINTS to be acquired from the event! To claim these points, your muse must participate in at least two activities per weekend. Even from an IC point of view, in order to validate their participation on this camp, they need only register for a minimum of 2 activities per weekend. They mustcheck in on Friday and check out on Sunday, but they’re free to explore the hotel or their surroundings when not in an activity. Being active means writing either a 200+ words solo or a four-post threadaboutan activity in the schedule during the week it happens (JULY 20-26 FOR WEEK 1, JULY 27-AUGUST 2 FOR WEEK 2) [EDIT: you can now write for BOTH weeks up until the end of August 16th], which means that you’ll need two solos, two threads or one solo and one thread per week in order to acquire all points. Each week, you can win UP TO +6 POINTS IN ANY CATEGORY (+3 per activity), and being active on both weeks will grant you an additional +3 points! All 3 points earned from one activity must be allocated to the same skill area, but you’re free to distribute points from different activities into different skills. Additionally, muses can receive BEGINNER ACHIEVEMENTS depending on the workshops they take! Activities marked with * are the ones that grant the corresponding achievements. However, in order to get the achievements, youmust write about your muse attending the workshop, even if you’ve already fulfilled the activity requirements for the week.

(If you’re overwhelmed by the points opportunities, don’t worry; there will be a points verification form to help you out with this later on in the event, and you’ll claim your points when it’s all over!)
