Places around Camp Wachata!
The Lake - Cuckoo Lake is one of the most popular attractions on Camp Wachata. A huge lake that boasts a thriving ecosystem of perch, bass, and massive catfish! Boating, fishing, swimming, and water sports are the main activities around the lake.
The Girl's Campground - The Girl's Campground is located on the South side of the lake. Compromised of about 5 Cabins, each one holding about 12 girls. The girl's cabins are known for being the only cabins (Beside the Campmaster's cabin) that have air conditioning. Being the campground of the original camp, most of the scary stories and rumors have to deal with the area around the Girl's Campground, making it a creepy place at night. The girl's Counselors are expected to room inside the cabins.
The Boy's Campground - The Boy's Campgrounds are located on the Northeast side of the lake. Compromised of about 5 cabins, though these ones hold about 16 each. The boy's cabins are newly built, and much better looking than the girl's cabins. However, no AC, and bathhouse's that have a habit of breaking, make the Boy's side fairly unpopular with their residents. The boy's Counselors are expected to room inside the cabins.
The Lookout Mountains - The campground itself sits snugly inside one of the valleys of this mountain range. Keeping all kinds of creatures, it's normally advised to stay on the trails, not go after dark, and always let someone know you are hiking. Filled with amazing vistas of the whole area, the Lookout Mountains drive home the point of how far away Wachata is from civilization.
The Canteen - Located on the North side of the lake, The Canteen is where the campers have their meals, meet for any type of camp-wide meeting, and where counselors can often meet to plan activities. Outside of The Canteen hall is picnic tables, basketball courts, an area for volleyball, and more than a few shady trees.
The Fields - The Fields is used for activities that aren't accommodated for around the lake. Archery is the main activity practiced here, but the Fields are available for anything. A leveled field, along with a shed that holds a lot of sporting equipment, provides an apt place for leisure time.
The Laundry - A relatively new addition to Camp Wachata, a long building located on the North side of the lake that houses a couple dozen washing machines and dryers. Meant for students and the counselors to wash their clothes.
Robert's Forest - The forest that covers a large portion of valley in which Camp Wachata resides. Students mostly explore it, which counselors begrudgingly allow, in order to get away from camp. Surprisingly, unlike the mountain range, Robert's Forest doesn't have a lot residing in it, besides the occasional squirrel. Small ponds, beautiful trees, and huge boulders dot the landscape of Robert's Forest.
The Gym - Another relatively new building. A small building, barely larger than a shed, houses the limited gym equipment the camp possesses. While the building is small, it is well made, and air conditioned. Unsurprisingly, the gym doesn't see much use by the campground.
The Obstacle Courses - Using part of the mountains, and The Fields, the Obstacle Courses are probably one of the more fun attractions at camp. Ziplines, jungle gyms, rock climbing walls, hurdles, and various other equipment used to create a fun course for campers to run.
The Wiki Wiki Fire Ring - The sitting area that is located slightly off camp grounds, to the West of the lake. This area is used to light bonfires, and gather students at night. Most of the time, however, counselors will take their campers here to tell ghost stories over a much smaller fire.
The Lodge - Used by the Campmaster, the camp nurse, and other officials of the camp. Mainly used as an office space, and storage area.
The Piers - Four piers, one for each cardinal direction of the lake, jut out onto the Lake, each one holding a couple of the paddle boats, and kayaks that the camp uses.
The White Tooth River - A river the flows through a part of the campground, mostly residing in Robert's Forest. The more vicious parts of the river are used for white water rapid riding, while the calmer spots are popular amongst the campgrounds for fishing and hanging out.
The Camper Rec Room - An area that is almost strictly for the campers. Foosball, a movie room, and plenty of other things to enjoy, the Rec Room is more of a medium sized building. While there might be a handful of camp counselors in it, most of the time the building is populated mainly by campers. A popular hang out spot that sports multiple rooms, and central heat and air, the Rec Room is definitely one of the most camper-popular spots on the campgrounds.
The Old Cabins - Located to on the East side of the lake, tucked back farther away from the lake, is the Old cabins. These cabins are just as old as the girl's cabins, however most are in severe disrepair. The ones that haven't fallen down, are likely to fall down in short time. This area is off limits to both the counselors and the campers, citing the danger of the potentially collapsing buildings. However, that doesn't stop the occasional group of campers sneaking to the cabins to spend a night. If one were to go by the ghost stories, more tragedies happened here than one could count. Thankfully, practically all of them are fake. However, the only story that has any true holding, is one of the cabins that is said to be the cabin of the slain camper and counselor. A common dare is to dare some of your friends to spend a night in the place, and see if they survive. Nothing serious ever seems to happen. At least, nothing campers will say.
