Real-Fi Cabin Planning! • SWC November '25
Hi guys! I'm so sorry I haven't been checking in—my sleep schedule's been wack and we've been going out more frequently than I thought we would.
Cabin Relationships
Number 3 sounds fine by me too!
Descriptions
I think the profile picture Surf designed is pretty much it—short black hair, glasses (I forgot to tell Surf about the glasses RIP), crazy enough to wear a soggy sweater in a lake, etc.

Bio
Hi everyone! I'm Recca (she/her). I read far too much fiction for my own good, and I'm exceptionally fond of most microorganisms I learn about. I hope you'll enjoy being a part of Real-fi with us this session!

Real-Fi Cabin Planning! • SWC November '25
Description Intro
Here’s the description intro as of now!
Open to any and all thoughts!
Cabin Relationships
Will let them know shortly! Thanks <3
                        
                        
                    Here’s the description intro as of now!
The bus pulls over in the middle of a clearing in the woods, and you sling your backpack over your shoulder before filing out after everyone else.
When you step outside, you’re immediately met with birdsong from all around you, and soft sunlight against the tops of the trees.
“Hi, everyone!” Your three leaders wave to you as you join the group circling up.
“I’m Surf, and welcome to the Real-Fi Retreat!” the one baggy green pants and gray-green eyes says.
The girl with glasses and short black hair nods. “I’m Recca! We’re so excited to have you here.”
“And I’m Snowy,” the taller girl with dark brown hair tells you. “So…what do you think about seeing the campsite and setting up our tents?”
Open to any and all thoughts!
Cabin Relationships
Will let them know shortly! Thanks <3

Thumbnail design
Oh Surf, they look so cool! I'll link them up here for Snowy to see too.
This is the one Surf designed:

There was a comment about the dunes looking weird and another one about there not being a lake, so this was my slapdash solution XD
I think a little more detailing around the lake would make it more palatable

Surf's draft for the megatent WCGs:

Kayaking Event Prompts
Double question for the prompt exchange—are we going to have the campers comment prompts that everyone else can claim (like the five random words daily), or are we going to have them swap prompts on a pair basis? Personally, I'm learning towards the former…

I've actually been at school + tennis for over 12 hours today so I'm exhausted but fortunately the season is over 
 
Description
Looks great!
I did catch one small grammar thing–I think you meant the one with baggy green (sentence four)
Thumbnail Design
Oh yeah I like the lake! I agree with the detailing–we could add some blue ripples or something so it looks more like water?
Kayak Prompt
Sure Snowy, we could do 50-100 word prompts for the mad libs!
Hmm that's a good point about the prompt exchange–maybe everyone sharing prompts instead of pairs? that way there could be more storyline participation and more camper interactions

Description
Probably did and just missed it because my typing is not always the most reliable, unfortunately- Thanks!
Thumbnail Design
Aaa, I love it! Definitely details around the lake would be nice, though!
Maybe this is just a me thing, but I do feel like making the ground slightly lighter in color would make it seem a little more inviting? But that could just be me. Either that or maybe some tufts of grass!
THE MEGATENT IS GORGEOUS!!
Kayaking
Ooh, yeah, I agree on the whole group sharing of prompts! It definitely makes it feel more like a community activity <3
Other
Ack, that must be SO busy, Surf- But yeah, I feel that; thank goodness the season is over, ahaha

Would something like this do? We can work on the color of the tents later ^^'

Kayak prompt
Okay, so maybe the instructions can look something a little more like this:
Comment with a writing prompt. Then, scroll through all the other prompts and pick any one you like to create a 300 word story to help your team win the race (or other appropriately worded ending)
QOTDs
Since we're getting closer to the session, just wanted to finish this up for good:
Activities
We do need to figure out how we're going to manage these—we're posting the prompts in a project, right? We can alter the slides to reflect the details of the current ongoing activity. The prompt exchange and the Mad Libs for kayaking can take place in the comments, and so can the Scavenger Hunt details? Apologies if I'm not making much sense :sob:
Scavenger Hunt
We still have to come up with our fourth prompt, as well as a map :0

Oh yeah I like the green and the lake a lot better!
QOTDs
here's some more!
Activities
Yeah a project would be good so all the prompts/mad libs exchanges/scavenger hunt solving can be in the same place! we can post updates in the cabin studio periodically as well
Scavenger Hunt
Is the fourth prompt the emoji clue? If so, should we make the emojis alphabetic?

Yesss, that’s perfect!!
Kayaking Thing
That looks great, Recca! Thanks so much.
When I get back to Singapore tomorrow (or maybe the day after, depending on what time I’m back), I’ll do a master post of like. Basically everything we’ve got so far.
QOTDs
Just a few more to finish this up!
22. What’s one place you’d love to go?
23. What’s your ideal weather? Why?
24. What decorations do you have in your room, if any?
I’d quote, but I’m on mobile, and it’s insanely annoying to do that, sobs-
Activities
I agree! Project is definitely the easiest format for it, I think! To clarify, do you mean the activities would take place in the project comments or the studio ones? My gut feel is studio would be better, because I think people will check it more often.
Scavenger Hunt
So off the top of my head, we’ve got the Caesar cipher (1), get outside (2), but I don’t think we’ve finalized the third…
Update: We have the fourth (song suggestions!), but not the third yet. We could always go with the emoji thing, as it feels like a good balance of simplicity and complexity! I don’t think we should start with much more than that, just in case of camper inactivity (I’m currently hosting a scavenger hunt in WUC which is kind of failing because most of our campers are fairly inactive, sobs-), but we should probably plan a couple of extras just in case we get a bunch of really active people.
Cabin Relationships
Okay, we are officially hostile neutrals with Fantasy!!
                        
                        
                    Yesss, that’s perfect!!

Activities
I agree that studio comments would likely work better! and then all the activities overviews would be in the project in a sort of slideshow or similar format
Scavenger Hunt
Yeah, we can always start with four clues and then we can add more depending on camper activity!
What/where should the emoji clue lead to?
Projects
Is this just me, or are scratch projects not loading? For some reason they work on my phone though–not sure if they're down because of the web outage a few days ago or scratch being glitchy but I hope it's fixed before the session

MASTERPOST
Okay, so this is pretty much everything we've got so far for our planning! Quoting from all the stuff you both have summarized too, so thanks for that!!
I think that's mostly what we've got! It's entirely possible (and honestly quite probable) that I've forgotten a bunch of stuff, but I will leave it at that for now, I guess. Anyway! Now, to get to the rest of the stuff.
Scavenger Hunt
So we said the figurative location could be near the bonfire, but maybe for the real location, this could be…I don't know, a project or something? I've definitely got a writing project that I think has fire as the thumbnail, which could work, but we may also want something connected to camp in some way.
Projects
They seem to be working for me! It might just be an issue on your end, sobs- Hopefully it does get resolved fast <3
                        
                        
                    Okay, so this is pretty much everything we've got so far for our planning! Quoting from all the stuff you both have summarized too, so thanks for that!!
Basic Stuff
Cabin name: Real-Fi Retreat
Symbol: ◭
Colors: #efde00, #f9942b, #9c4035, #00cada, #80d8ef, #00b23e, #009400
Fonts: More Sugar + FF Providence Sans
Atmosphere: Join the Real-Fi Retreat, a welcoming and relaxed cabin where you'll learn to collaborate and grow through a camping trip. Here, you'll make bonds, explore and experiment, and, of course, have fun!
Cabin Relationships
Allies:
• Thriller
Neutrals:
• Mag-Real (hostile)
• Fantasy (hostile)
• Psycho-Fi (friendly? PENDING)
Enemies:
• Sci-Fi
Activities (General)
• Pitching tents
• Kayaking race
• Scavenger hunt
• Bonfire
Pitching Tents
• Write 5k as a cabin to pitch the tents!
Kayaking Race
• Between different WCGs (?)
To help your team kayak towards the finish line, your WCG should complete one (? or maybe they could complete two of them so it takes longer, but it could be whichever they choose and repeats are allowed?) of following activities:
Prompt exchange: (TWO POSSIBILITIES)
Exchange prompts with your fellow campers in the Real-Fi Retreat–then, create a 300 (?) word story, incorporating details from a different prompt every 100 words!
Comment with a writing prompt. Then, scroll through all the other prompts and pick any one you like to create a 300 word story to help your team win the race (or other appropriately worded ending)
Mad Libs: Partner up with someone from your WCG! Each one of you will write a 50–100 word template for mad libs, and fill out each other's! Once you've both revealed the final story, write a 250 word (?) story based on the events of your mad libs!
Word counts are subject to change based on camper activity
Scavenger Hunt
First clue:
• Begins at the Real-Fi map project
• Follow a lakeside trail (through Surf's bio) to find a blue rock (Surf's co app)
• Caesar cipher (LULV RQ VWRQH, ULYHUVLGH WKURQH was the one that Recca put, but I don't know if this is finalized)
Second clue:
• Begins at Surf's co app
• Ends at a hole in a tree (real location needed!!)
• Spend 30 minutes outdoors (needs a number of campers for this, most likely based on how many people we get from the sort and how active people are)
Third clue:
• Begins at the hole in the tree (see above notes)
• Ends at (? I don't think we've mentioned this yet)
• Alphabetic emoji clue?
Fourth clue:
• Begins at (?)
• Ends near the bonfire (MemorieSWC, perhaps? We'd need to make sure the newer campers know what this is, though—I don't know that we've confirmed this, though)
• 1–3 Scratch appropriate songs (for memory book)
+ more clues later, if we end up having really active campers
Ultimate treasure: Release of cabin memory book (see bonfire section and cabin memory book section) and progression to the bonfire stage!
Bonfire
• Rose/bud/thorn
• Six word stories –> inspiration for scenes
• Cabin memory book sharing!
Cabin Memory Book
• Ask for short snippets from the campers in the first few days of camp to compile writing
• Song recommendations from earlier
• Screenshots of fun quotes and chaos!
• Session highlights
• Camp goals
• Polls

I think that's mostly what we've got! It's entirely possible (and honestly quite probable) that I've forgotten a bunch of stuff, but I will leave it at that for now, I guess. Anyway! Now, to get to the rest of the stuff.
Scavenger Hunt
So we said the figurative location could be near the bonfire, but maybe for the real location, this could be…I don't know, a project or something? I've definitely got a writing project that I think has fire as the thumbnail, which could work, but we may also want something connected to camp in some way.
Projects
They seem to be working for me! It might just be an issue on your end, sobs- Hopefully it does get resolved fast <3

Masterpost looks great, Snowy! Gosh, this is going to make things so much easier—
QOTD
I think we're missing one for the 29th :0
Activities
These'll take place in the project comments, I think—we can post the link/reminders to check it in the studio? That way, we can have general discussions/QOTDs etc. in the main studio without the comments from the activity cluttering the place.
Speaking of which, this'll probably mean quite a few comments—does anyone have an alt they're willing to host the project on? XD
Scavenger Hunt
Your project with fire in the thumbnail sounds like a good idea! If you're willing, of course—we can always think of an alternative! :0
We do need to think of the actual clue we're going to use—any ideas?
Also, so far, our map has the following locations:
- The lakeside trail (Surf's projects)
- Hole in a tree (one of my old co-leader apps is The Fairy Circle—will that work?)
- Bonfire (location to be decided—what about the description of our main cabin?)
Including the location for the fourth clue (camp grounds? grassy picnic spot? the dock in the lake?), we do need a couple of red herrings—I think just two should be enough for now? Other location options I can think of are a cave, a patch of mushrooms, and a moss-covered patch of stone.
Main Cabin thumbnail
Do you want to make any color adjustments, or should I consider this the final version and resize it to make it better fit studio thumbnail proportions?

Sorry for the short post, but I should probably head to bed soon, sobs-
QOTDs
OOPS-
I think everyone should just wish me a happy birthday /j
Anyway, in all seriousness, maybe “What's something your proud of?” could work?
Activities
Sounds good to all of this! And I do have an alt, which I can use, but if someone else has one, then that woulddd be a bit more ideal! But I can definitely take care of it if not, haha.
Scavenger Hunt
I'm definitely good with using that, as long as you all are!
Hmmm, yes, red herrings. I personally love your ideas, Recca (it must be a moss rock!!), but one quick question: how are we going to work the red herrings in?
I'll get back to you on the actual clue ideas tomorrow, ahaha <3
Cabin Thumbnail
Looks great to me! I'm happy to call that the final version

sorry for being so inactive–my chem test is done though and it wasn't too bad so yay!
QOTD
Oh maybe! It's a bit similar to 26. (What's a writing accomplishment you're proud of this month?) though but it might be different enough to work
Activities
I think I used to have one or two alts but I don't know if I still have the passwords–I can check but I'm doubtful I'll have it
Fourth Clue
maybe it could be:
travel to a tent to find a grassy picnic spot!
and the color of the tent could be the megatent from one of our wcgs? feel free to rearrange the wording of the clue
Perhaps for working the red herrings in, we could place them in parts of the description of the cabin or maybe for the blue rock clue in my profile comments? that might not be a good red herring though
Main Cabin Thumbnail
Looks good!
Opinions on this for the PFP project thumbnail? I'm trying to finish it up so it'll be ready to be shared when camp starts
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1183234864/editor/
Also, should we start working on the WCG thumbnails and create those studios as well?
Cabin memory book/time capsule
We should also probably do prep for this throughout the session and start having the layout of the slides done, so we can get it out in time!
So far we have:

So far we have:
• Ask for short snippets from the campers in the first few days of camp to compile writingAbout the screenshots of fun quotes and chaos, do we have an obligation to ask campers first if we are using it in the final time capsule (like how the camper signup form asks for a preference, like ask first/always/never)?
• Song recommendations from earlier
• Screenshots of fun quotes and chaos!
• Session highlights
• Camp goals
• Polls

Thumbnails
Resized version!

Surf, the shop thumbnail looks perfect! AND ADORABLE RAHHH
Scavenger Hunt
Basically, here's what I was thinking: we already have an in-world location and a corresponding on-site location (eg: lakeside trail, Surf's profile) for all our clues. I was thinking we come up with two more of these pairs (red herrings), and then make a list of them. That way, when our campers look for the next clue, they have a limited set of possible places to look. Does that make sense?
Fourth Clue
Okay, that looks good! What will it look like in its emoji substitution cipher form?
QOTD
How about: what's a random skill you have that you're proud of?
Time capsule
Ooooh, good point about the preference. Should we just abide by the same preferences they listed in their camper signup? We could ask one of the QUAILS for the list.

Camper lists are released! We need to figure out
- WCG sorting (any preferences)
- WCG descriptions and thumbnails
- Invite message
QOTD
That one sounds good!
Scavenger hunt
Sort of? Are we going to tell them what in-world location corresponds to the on-site location or is it just going to be other points on the map?
Time Capsule
We could do that–we could also check in with campers about it once they've unlocked the time capsule if they have ask first preferences? It might be more ethical to ask all of them at the end of the hunt but that might not work as well if people have different activity levels, idk
Fourth clue
travel to a \color\ tent to find a grassy picnic spot!
oops that part didn't translate over since I used brackets
speaking of WCG colors/design, do we want to just call them XXX's Megatent or are they going to have a further theme?
Emoji code: will edit this post in a sec
says unsuitable language…. I don't think scratch accepts the emojis so they're in here https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1183234864/editor
not sure what to do for the other letters though–maybe it could be partially in an emoji code and the rest regular?
Final translated version (without color part): tbd

QOTD
Hmm, that's a good point. I like Recca's adjustment, plus that makes it different enough!!
Activities
Okay, so maybe if you have the passwords, then you could do it, Surf, but otherwise, I can take care of it!
Thumbnails
YAYYYY, it looks perfect!
And Surf, oh my goodness, the profile picture project thumbnail is perfect as well!
For the WCG thumbnails, are we just using the same thumbnail templates Recca (I think it was Recca, anyway-) made, or…?
Cabin Memory Book and Time Capsule
Okay, so I'd say maybe…
November 1–7: Ask campers for snippets
November 5th: Session goal setting
November 20th: Check in on the goals
Sometime during the scavenger hunt, so probably somewhere around the 25th: Song recommendations (split up and compile across the next few days!)
All session:
• Polls
• Session highlights
• Screenshots
As I'm writing this, I'm thinking maybe we should switch the song recommendations one with the going outside one? That gives us a little more time to compile them in case of camper inactivity and whatever. So that would put it roughly around the 21st for the song recommendations, maybe? Depending on camper activity, once again.
Good idea on asking for the preferences for the memory book! I think that's probably the simplest and also allows us to figure it out without revealing anything too much. For the ask first people, we'll probably want to ask them sooner rather than later, but we also don't want to reveal it, so my guess is somewhere as soon as they know they're looking for a certain treasure but we do it in secret or something? Unless you all have better ideas
Scavenger Hunt
That looks good for a clue! So to clarify on the emoji substitution, it's by first letter, right? So like…sparkles would be S, and you'd just have a long string of emojis to represent it? Or am I getting this wrong?
As for the red herrings, same question as Surf here! I think it might be better to allow them to connect the on-site location to the in-world location through the clues, though maybe that would be a little too complicated…
HELP, unsuitable language is so real, sobbing- That makes sense! If we could find a couple that are connected to our theme (like a tent, for example), that'd be really fun. We'd also need to make sure we're pretty clear that the different symbols aren't super ambiguous…
Actually, on that subject, are we actually providing them with the list of which letter is which emoji, or are we just going to leave them to figure that out on their own unless they ask for hints?
Camper Sort and WCGs
AAAA, WE HAVE SUCH A GOOD CABIN! I'm actually so excited for this session <3
I'd love to have May in my WCG, but otherwise, I'm pretty good with whatever! I think it'd probably be good to split it up based on word goals for sure. Does anyone else have any preferences?
We should probably each have about five people per megatent!
For each of our WCG descriptions, do we want to do the storyline intros for each of our own megatents? I think I could make a template for all of this, but we could probably customize it as necessary.
Cabin Relationships
How would you all feel about being allies with Solarpunk?

My schedule for the week!
Sunday (tomorrow): Church, Girl Scouts, family call in the evening
Monday: I'm fairly sure it's just school-
Tuesday: School, English honor society inductions, robotics
Wednesday: I don't think I have anything on but school again
Thursday: School, robotics
Friday: Halloween and school, but I don't know if I'm doing anything in the evening for Halloween
Saturday: Nothing concrete currently
Anywayyy, I have two deadlines on November 1st and a Chinese presentation on Wednesday, so I might be a littleee busy this week trying to get everything in, but hopefully I should be okay.

Activities
I can't find them, sorry </3
Time Capsule Memory Book
True, combining songs with going outdoors might work better!
That sounds good, so we still should have time to get the slideshow done in time for the treasure to be found
For the polls, any ideas of what questions we could ask? We could do favorite SWC mascot for one
Scavenger Hunt
It is by first letter! (also I put the list inside the project if you want to see what I have so far) I was planning on having the campers guess which emoji matches to each letter to decipher the code (there's usually enough context clues to figure it out), but we can always provide hints if needed
Camper Sort
I don't have any preferences!
We could use that template for each thumbnail unless there are any parts we should change–we could do different colored tents for each?
I'm good with writing an intro for mine! though we could do a rough template for all, whichever is easier
Cabin Relationships
Allies sounds good!
Schedule
Monday: several tests
Tuesday: some tests, work
Wednesday: event in the evening
otherwise I don't have much this week, which should be good!

Alright, I’ll take care of that, then! <3
Time Capsule
Maybe like…
Favorite SWC mascot?
Best genre to write in?
Favorite event of the session?
Something like that, perhaps? I feel like these would be a bit more SWC-related specifically, but we could probably also include some answers from the QOTDs as well!
Scavenger Hunt
Got it, thanks! And yes, I totally agree. Letter frequency should also help to narrow it down and stuff, so hopefully that shouldn’t be too hard! And they can always ask for hints
I’ll try to add to this list later as well
Camper Sorts and WCGs
Yeah, I think we could probably just adjust the colors and would be good with that? Unless you all have any strong feelings otherwise, but that would help to minimize the work
For the descriptions, to clarify (because I realized my tired brain last night was not very clear), I could make a template for the rest of the description (like everything but the intro), and then everyone could just insert their own intros!
Cabin Relationships
Alright! We’ll wait on Recca for this just in case, but I assume we’ll be good there
Additionally, Psycho-Fi has said they would really prefer true neutrals, so my thought is that we accept that and ask in the leader forum about cabin relationships and say we’d like friendly neutrals, but we also have three or four (I believe) ally spots and four enemy spots left!

Good luck on your tests, Surf! I’m sure you’ll do splendidly <333

Something like that, perhaps? I feel like these would be a bit more SWC-related specifically, but we could probably also include some answers from the QOTDs as well!
Scavenger Hunt
Got it, thanks! And yes, I totally agree. Letter frequency should also help to narrow it down and stuff, so hopefully that shouldn’t be too hard! And they can always ask for hints
I’ll try to add to this list later as well
Camper Sorts and WCGs
Yeah, I think we could probably just adjust the colors and would be good with that? Unless you all have any strong feelings otherwise, but that would help to minimize the work
For the descriptions, to clarify (because I realized my tired brain last night was not very clear), I could make a template for the rest of the description (like everything but the intro), and then everyone could just insert their own intros!
Cabin Relationships
Alright! We’ll wait on Recca for this just in case, but I assume we’ll be good there
Additionally, Psycho-Fi has said they would really prefer true neutrals, so my thought is that we accept that and ask in the leader forum about cabin relationships and say we’d like friendly neutrals, but we also have three or four (I believe) ally spots and four enemy spots left!
Other
Good luck on your tests, Surf! I’m sure you’ll do splendidly <333

Time Capsule
Ooh I like those!
WCGs
Ohh that makes more sense, a template would be good!
For WCG tent colors in the thumbnails, any preferences? Mine could be blue
Rough sorting of WCGs by word goals to make them even in points (I tried to do mental math so my apologies if I added wrong):

When do we want to invite campers? If we can invite them all at a somewhat similar time so it's more coordinated it might be better
Cabin Relationships
Okay sure! And yeah we can definitely fill up our allies/enemies spots as well

Camper Sort and WCGs
Okay, so I’ll do my best to get that done by tomorrow!!
I think for my color, maybe just a beige/off-white or the current orange?
That sort looks great, Surf!
I think it might be hard to find a time that we’re all free (given school + different time zones), so maybe we just pick a day and all do them then? I think sooner rather than later would probably be best, so maybe tomorrow or something? And I could do it in the afternoon for me so the time lag with your time zone, Surf, wouldn’t be quite as big
Cabin Relationships
Got it, will do!
