The Sundown Company started in 1964 as a private military organization. They were founded by Bill Tyler in Arizona, where their original base was kept. Over the years, the company became involved in a few scandals, and the legality of their existence came to question. Where they private soldiers? Or mercenaries? In 1980, the company was ordered to shut down operations, but seeing as it made it's founder a multimillionaire, Bill was less than willing to let his cash cow go. Instead, he decided to pick up and move his business somewhere they would never be found: the deep jungles of Venezuela. Enter Camp Sunshine.
The "Camp" operates under the guise of a summer camp for rich kids, or at least that's what goes on the paperwork. The real mission behind Camp Sunshine is a bit more insidious: training mercenaries for the field. These soldiers, once trained, can be bought and shipped off to fight for whoever has the deepest pockets. Each soldier is worth thousands of dollars.
Camp Sunshine offers a wide range of fun summer activities, such as an afternoon at the shooting range, a dip in the lake, or maybe a nice hike in the woods.

The Tents
Campers are grouped by which tent they are assigned. Your choices are Tent A, Tent B, Tent C, and Tent D, and also you don't get a choice. There are four campers per tent, male and female. You won't be separated in the field, and you won't be separated at Camp. Your tentmates are your family while you are at camp. You will eat with them, sleep with them, fight with them, and hopefully survive with them.
Gold Stars
Gold Stars are the currency at Camp Sunshine. You use them to buy extra supplies or food at the camp store. The Star is nothing more than a gold sticker on a card, but you better protect it with your life. Many campers have been "sent home" over stolen Stars.
Camp Store
The Camp Store is where campers can buy extra supplies with their gold stars. Guns, ammo, knives, equipment, food, alcoholic beverages, ect.
Night Watch
Camp Sunshine occasionally gets nighttime visitors, so a night watch is established each night to keep them at bay. Located in the heart of drug cartel territory, Camp Sunshine has had run-ins with these neighbors in the past. After a try or two to take over the territory, the cartels usually learn that messing with Camp Sunshine just isn't worth the trouble. However, every few years, a new boss will gain control and will try his luck once again. Two campers from each tent take the first watch, then switch with their tentmates for second watch. Look sharp soldiers, you may work for these guys some day.
The Shooting Range
t's pretty self explanatory. The Shooting Range offers the campers a place to hone their shooting skills. The range is a mandatory activity, and is assigned to a different tent each morning. You usually get an hour to practice, but can be held there long if you don't do well.
The Lake
Lake Sunshine is where all water based activities occur. The most popular is the Dive Challenge, where tents are pitted against each other in finding an object tossed into the bottom of the lake. The tent that finds it first receives a Star for each camper in said tent. The lake is also open for free swim during downtime, if you happen to come across any.
The Jungle
Camp Sunshine is surrounded by thick, near impenetrable jungle. This jungle helps keep the Camp hidden, and also provides the playground for the Thirty Mile Challenge. This Challenge takes every camper into the heart of the jungle, thirty miles from camp, and drops them all off in groups according to their tent. The tents then compete to find their way back. The first tent that makes it back with all surviving members gets Stars all around. "Surviving" being the key term. This challenge is known for being particularly brutish. While killing each other is typically frowned upon at Camp, deep in the jungle, no one can hear your scream.
The Mountain
What's a good summer camp without a mountain hike? The Mountain is a snow capped peak that lays near Camp Sunshine, and is utilized for the final camp challenge, The Climb. The Climb takes every camper and, you guessed it, pits them against each other in a race to the top. This challenge is taken very seriously, as it decides whether or not you get to leave camp. While it can very much be every man for himself, it's recommended that stick with your tent mates; you've gotten each other this far, after all.
1: Blatant attempted murder of fellow campers is frowned upon.
2: Don't get murdered.
3: If you decide to run away from Camp Sunshine, good luck in the jungle. Don't bother trying to come back.
4: Recruitment. Bill is always on the look out for new, extraordinary soldiers. New campers are either recruited by Bill himself (via letter, typically), or by former Camp Sunshine Campers. Once you graduate Camp Sunshine, you can recruit too. If your recruitee survives their summer at Camp, Bill can ensure you a fat Christmas bonus to show his gratitude.
