Summer Jobs:

If you love kids, the great outdoors and group life... then why not come live an adventure with us!

Camp Mahingan, a non-profit summer camp out in the Otchek Forest, is looking for camp counselors for the summer! We've got postings for a small number of positions remaining, and we're looking for young dynamic people to look after our 6 to 16 year old campers from June to August!

Come live a once in a lifetime experience! Simply fill out the simple form below, mail it to campmahinganinfo@otchek.com and we'll get back toy as soon as possible!

THIS IS FLAVOR, NOT AN ACTUAL CAMP POSITION!

Spoiler:

To apply for this campaign, simply Copy+Paste the form below and post it as a reply. This is indeed a Pathfinder Campaign, you will build characters with classes and all the usual stuff, it just has a very different flavor than what you may be used to. See below for the "Campaign Info". Wherever it says Applicant Name, etc. use your character's name.

Application Form
Applicant's Name:
Applicant's Age: (Must be 16 to 25)
Current Education: (Must be attending high school or university to be eligible)
Applicant's Desired Position: (See below for job listings)
Describe Yourself: (Maximum two paragraphs)

Campaign Info:

So, each character will play a camp counselor during one summer at Camp Mahingan. There will be fights, there will be fun, there will be a lot of cheesy, funny roleplay. It will be lighthearted.

There will be a great overarching mystery for you to solve. Think Twin Peaks, Psychonauts, Gravity Falls... you get the picture.

Your "class powers" will be earned early on.

You all begin at 1st level, 20 Point Buy (not a very high powered campaign). Official Pathfinder content is fine. Make your character design fit into the camp theme obviously.

1 Trait only, no drawbacks.

Available positions are as follows, your skill set must reflect your choice. General Camp Counselors are generalists and need not specialize.

Camp Counselor: Raccoons (6-8)
Camp Counselor: Foxes (9-10)
Camp Counselor: Wolves (11-12)
Camp Counselor: Bears (13-14)
Camp Counselor: Pumas (15-16)
Sailing Specialist
Mountaineering Specialist
Canoe Specialist
Nature Specialist
Archery Specialist
Arts and Crafts Specialist
Rock Climbing Specialist
Lifeguard

I will be taking 4 players maximum, no more than 1 per position. You may apply to more than one of course.

If you have any questions, ask below!


Applicant's Name: Tomnus
Applicant's Age: 18
Current Education: Student at University.
Applicant's Desired Position: Camb Counselor:Bears
Describe Yourself: Tomnus grew up the son of a simple merchent that worked along the trade routes that crossed through the region. Tomnus's father started teaching him mathematics at a young age, figuring thath is son would follow in his footsteps. If Tomnus was to become a merchant he would need to know mathematics as part of the trade but Tomnus often felt that he had a greater calling in his life than to be a merchent and to sit in a room with dusty old books all day. He soon grew tired of the mathematics that came to him so easily. He started to hang round some friends that were into swordplay and he soon developed some skill at it. Much to his fathers dismay, Tomnus decided to pursue this new found interest in swordsmanship and abandoned his study of mathematics. This drove a wedge between his father and him and he eventually was asked to leave his families home. Having no where else to go he decided to enroll in the university to further hone his skills with the sword.

I'm assuming this is on Earth, or some version of it?

Application Form
Applicant's Name: Jenny Wislicki
Applicant's Age: 18
Current Education: Veterinary Student(-to-be!)
Applicant's Desired Position: Counselor (Wolves), Nature Specialist
Describe Yourself: I love horses! Really I love all animals and I'm going to be studying to be a veterinarian in the fall so I can work with animals all day but I especially love my horse Majesty and I'll be bringing her with me to camp so all the little kiddos can meet her! I have years of experience riding horses and I even draw pictures of horses when I can't ride so that tells you how much I love them.

I also love kids and I think it's a shame how so many grow up in the city and never have a chance to get out in the wild and meet all the friendly animals! I hope all the kiddos will learn to love animals as much as I do!

Character Class: Wild Whisperer Druid

Going for a super-perky, obsessed-with-horses type of girl. The run-on sentences are in-character. It wasn't one of the listed positions, but I pictured her as a horseback riding instructor.


just giving this a bit of a bump.


Oh goodness people have arrived :O. I'll check all this out, I'd started giving up on all this.

Probably should have made it clear, since the email and info might not have been crystal clear, this is on Earth. In modern times. Like 2016.

Sorry about the confusion.
